bakstreversk - sjeldent men stilig ord :)

å streve - to struggle / toil
bak - back/behind/backwards
-ersk - "-ish" / having the quality of

hence something like:

"backwards-struggling" - reactionary / conservative

Though that may not be the original meaning of the word's constituent parts, it's what comes to my mind when I analyze it.

The lack of a Norwegian etymological dictionary... is a big shame.....

Compare online "staple" dictionaries for Danish and Norwegian:
