Etymology

The word 'nozzle' originated in the early 17th century from the Middle English word 'noselle', which meant 'a large nose'. It is believed to have been influenced by the Old French word 'nosel' meaning 'nostril'. Over time, the term evolved to refer to the projecting end of a pipe for controlling the direction or rate of flow of a fluid. The use of nozzles has since expanded to various fields such as firefighting, gardening, and industrial applications.
