Öse

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”).
