NOSE is the prominent facial feature that contains the nostrils and serves as the primary organ for smell. Beyond its biological function, the nose appears in countless idioms and expressions, from "nose to the grindstone" to "follow your nose."
NOSE comes from Old English "nosu," related to Old Norse "nǫs" and German "Nase." All derive from Proto-Germanic "*nusō," ultimately from Proto-Indo-European "*nas-" meaning "nose" - one of the most ancient and stable words across languages.
