Narry

Narry is a term that has been used in various contexts throughout history, primarily in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The term "narry" is believed to have originated from the Old English word "næfre," which means "not free" or "not free of charge." In its earliest usage, "narry" referred to a person who was not free, or a slave, but this meaning has evolved over time.

In modern usage, "narry" is often used as a slang term to describe someone who is not free or available, or who is being held captive in some way. For example, one might say "I'm a bit narry right now" to indicate that they are busy or occupied and cannot be bothered with something. The term can also be used to describe someone who is being held back or restrained, such as in the phrase "he's a bit narry with his money."

The term "narry" is not widely recognized or used in everyday language, and its meaning can vary depending on the context in which it is used. However, it is an interesting example of how language evolves and changes over time.
