Etymology

From Proto-SlavicCategory:Serbo-Croatian terms derived from Proto-Slavic#NISMO *ne + *esmъ, first-person plural present tense form of *byti. This formation later created *ne jesmъ in the South Slavic vernaculars, which merged to become něsmo (attested in 1395). Because of the yat reflex, něsmo became rendered as nismo in Ikavian speeches.
