From the word’s history

From narrow, from Old English nearu 'narrow, confined'.

源自古英文 nearu「狹窄的」,指水道窄處。

Wiktionary

Water with land closing in from both sides. The route does not stop, it just gets thin: everything that wants to pass has to squeeze through this one place, where the current runs faster and there is less room to turn.

可以想成一段水,兩邊的陸地往中間靠過來。路沒有斷,只是變細了:所有要過去的船都得從這一個地方擠過去,水在這裡跑得比較快,也沒什麼空間轉向。這個字幾乎都帶著 -s 出現,前面常加 the,因為講的往往是路線上那個特定的、大家都知道的窄點。
