I'm a native speaker of a Scandinavian langauge, and I was rather stunned by her usage of 'nithing.' It is not part of contemporary language but 'nidingsdåd' (nithing deed) remains part of everyday parlance. Also, from what I've seen, Theresa is rather fluent in Old and Middle English, so she would know the meanings of the word.
