next: [OE] Etymologically, something that is next is ‘nearest’. The word comes, like its Germanic relatives, German n?chste, Dutch naaste, Swedish n?st, and Danish n?st, from a prehistoric ancestor formed from *nēkh- ‘near’ (from which English nigh is descended) and the superlative suffix *-istaz. A parallel comparative formation has given English near. => near, nigh

Old English niehsta, nyhsta (West Saxon), nesta (Anglian) "nearest, closest," superlative of neah (West Saxon), neh (Anglian) "nigh;" from Proto-Germanic *nekh- "near" + superlative suffix *-istaz. Cognate with Old Norse n?str, Dutch naast "next," Old High German nahisto "neighbor," German n?chst "next." Adverbial and prepositional use from c. 1200. Phrase the next person "a typical person" is from 1857.
