Norse is an adjective relating things to Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Sweden. To refer to the modern people or culture of Norway, use "Norwegian". The etymology of the adjective "norse" is somewhat surprising as one would expect it to have entered the English language through either the already present native stem "north" or via a Scandinavian language. Yet "Norse" (which entered English in 1598) derives from the Dutch word "noors", the adjective form of "Norwegian"[1]. The Scandinavian equivalent of the word is norrøn, or norrön (Icelandic: norræn). The modern English form (which sounds almost identical to the Dutch term) may be used in a number of ways:
Norsecore is a subgenre of heavy metal music.
Norsemen applies to Scandinavian people before the Christianization of Scandinavia.
The inhabitants of Norsca are a fictional land in the Warhammer Fantasy game setting.
