German

Etymology

First attested in the 15th century in Central German ōse, Middle Low German ōse. Since the word is seemingly of northern origin, it may be derived via Old Saxon *ōsi, from Proto-Germanic *ansijō (“loop, handle”), from Proto-Indo-European *h₂ensehᵃ- (“loop, hook, handle”). Alternatively, it may be derived from the cognate of German Ohr (“ear”); compare Öhr (“eye of the needle”).
