A person with a red or reddish nose, historically sometimes associated with heavy drinking (archaic/offensive); also a historical coin reference.
Compound of copper and nose, describing the copper-colored or reddish appearance of a person's nose; historically associated with the ruddy complexion sometimes linked to alcohol consumption.
The term got immortalized in Tudor history through King Henry VIII's court jester Will Somers, who was called 'Copper Nose'—there's even speculation that Henry VIII himself earned the nickname due to his reddening face as he aged!
