noorder-

From Middle Dutch noorder, an adjective. In Middle Dutch, the word was still used on its own; by Modern Dutch times, the word has turned into a prefix not encountered as an adjective proper outside compounds. Nonetheless, spellings where noorder was separated from the second element of the compound persisted for some centuries in Modern Dutch.
