1610年代,“墙壁上的浅凹处”,源自法语 niche “(狗的)隐蔽处,狗窝”(14世纪),可能源自意大利语 nicchia “壁龛,角落”,据说源自 nicchio “海贝壳”,而 nicchio 据 Klein、Barnhart 等人称可能源自拉丁语 mitulus “贻贝”,但 -m- 变为 -n- 的原因尚未解释(《世纪词典》将其与源自拉丁语 mappa 的 napkin 进行了比较)。Watkins 认为这个词源于古法语名词,源自 nichier “依偎,筑巢”,通过高卢-罗马语 *nidicare 源自拉丁语 nidus “巢”(见 nidus),但这也存在困难。比喻意义的记录始于1725年。生物学用法始于1927年。
