NICE

This article appears in Volume V19, Page 647 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NEW-NUM
NICE , an
adjective
  which in present usage has two
main
  meanings: (1) fastidious, particular, precise or scrupulous, andpleasant,
kind
  or agreeable. The first meaning has been common since the 16th
century
 , the second only since the end of the 18th. In O. Fr., from which the
English
  form was adapted, the word is niche or nice, which are derivatives of Lat. nescius, not knowing, ignorant. The development in meaning is doubtful; some authorities take it as (1). foolish, (2) foolishly precise,
(1) delicate, (4) pleasant.
Skeat
  suggests an early confusion with the word " nesh," soft, delicate, still surviving dialectically. NICEPHORUS, the name of three emperors of the
East
 .
