Noose

== Saterland Frisian == === Etymology 1 === From Old Frisian nose, nosi, from Proto-West Germanic *nosu. ==== Noun ==== Noose f (anatomy) nose === Etymology 2 === Uncertain. Perhaps from an incorrect division of n Oose (literally “a loop”) (see Oose); or perhaps borrowed from Middle Low German nȫse (“loop, snare, noose, sling”), likely of similar formation. If so, ultimately from Proto-West Germanic *ansiju (“eyelet, loop”). Compare also Middle English nose (“loop, noose”), whence English noose. ==== Alternative forms ==== Nouse ==== Noun ==== Noose f (of a needle) eye; eyelet ===== Derived terms ===== Nöösken
