Nór
Nór (
Old Norse Nórr) or Nori is firstly a merchantile title and secondly a Norse man's name. It is in Norse sources stated that Nór is the founder of
Norway from which the land supposedly got its name. The name Norway does not derive from "Nór's way", but rather from the
Norwegian "Nór rige" meaning "Nór's rule/kingdom": hence how Norwegian for Norway is "Norge".

Nor-
nor- is a chemical acronym and prefix. It comes from the
German nitrogen ohne Rest, "no
residues at
nitrogen."
Residues are groups such as a
methyl-group that are part of a larger
molecule. Despite the word "nitrogen", it is also used in reference to other "stripped-down" molecules. For example, a
norbornyl group (bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane) is a
bornyl group (1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptane) lacking the three different methyls at carbons.

Nor
(conj.)
A negative connective or particle, introducing the second member or clause of a negative proposition, following neither, or not, in the first member or clause (as or in affirmative propositions follows either). Nor is also used sometimes in the first member for neither, and sometimes the neither is omitted and implied by the use of nor.

About
NOR
Not OR.
The
Boolean function which is true if none of its inputs are true and false otherwise, the
logical complement of
inclusive OR. The binary (two-input) NOR function can be defined (written as an
infix operator):
A NOR B = NOT (A OR B) = (NOT A) AND (NOT B)
Its
truth table is:
A | B | A NOR B --+---+--------- F | F | T F | T | F T | F | F T | T | F
NOR, like
NAND, forms a complete set of
Boolean functions on its own since it can be used to make NOT, AND, OR and any other Boolean function:
NOT A = A NOR A
A OR B = NOT (A NOR B)
A AND B = (NOT A) NOR (NOT B)
