Eitr Eitr is a mythical substance in Norse mythology. This liquid substance is the origin of all living things: the first giant Ymir was conceived from eitr. The substance is supposed to be very poisonous and is also produced by Jörmungandr (the Midgard serpent) and other serpents. ==Etymology== The word eitr exists in most North Germanic languages (all derived from the Old Norse language) in Icelandic/Faroese ''eitur'', in Danish ''edder'', in Swedish ''etter''. Cognates also exist in Dutch ''etter'' (pus), in German ''Eiter'' (''pus''), in Old Saxon ''ĕttar'', in Old English ''ăttor''. The word is broadly translated: ''poisonous'', ''evil'', ''bad'', ''angry'', ''sinister'' etc.〔Svenska Akademiens Ordbok, entry for ''Etter'' ()〕 The word is used in common Scandinavian folklore as a synonym for snake poison.
