The small piece you fit on the end of a hose, pipe, tap, or spray bottle to steer and shape what comes out. Twist or change it and the same water can be a thin jet, a wide spray, or a slow pour — garden hoses, petrol pumps, fire hoses, and kitchen all work this way. Gas and steam use nozzles too: a jet or rocket has one at the back where hot gas shoots out. It is an everyday thing-word, not slang and not fancy; you meet it in gardens, cars, kitchens, and factories. Though actually, people sometimes stretch it to any snout-like opening that something pours through, even when nothing is screwed on.
From the word’s history
From Middle English noselle; nose + diminutive -le.
nose「鼻子」加小稱字尾 -le，中古英文作 noselle。
組成From Middle English noselle: nose + the little ending -le (a diminutive, a 'small version'). So a 'little nose' — the bit that sticks out at the end of a pipe.
同家族的字
- nosenozzle is nose plus that small-word ending; both name a sticking-out opening something comes through
