3. Morphemic Analysis:

• ned-: Prefix, from Old Norse niðr, meaning "down" or "reduction". Function: Indicates a process of reduction or lowering.
• rusting: Root, derived from the verb ruste ("to rust"), but here used figuratively to mean "disarmament" or "reduction of arms". Origin: Germanic. Function: Core meaning of the word.

The consonant cluster "str" can sometimes be challenging, but in Nynorsk, it's generally treated as a single onset. The linking 's' is a common feature in compound nouns.

• Avoid Stranded Consonants: Consonants are not left at the end of a syllable unless absolutely necessary.
