Etymology

[edit]

First attested in the 15th century in Central German ōse, Middle Low German ôse. Regarding this northern origin, it probably stems from Old Saxon *ōsia, from Proto-West Germanic *ansiju, from Proto-Germanic *ansijō (loop, handle), from Proto-Indo-European *h₂enseh₂- (loop, hook, handle). Alternatively, it may be related to Ohr (ear); compare Öhr (eye of the needle).
