The plural of nose; the body parts on your face that you use to breathe and smell, located between your eyes and above your mouth.
From Old English 'nosu,' related to Old Norse 'nös' and German 'Nase.' The word has remained remarkably stable across Germanic languages for over a thousand years.
Your nose can detect over a trillion different scents, far more than your tongue can taste, and some scientists think we underestimate smell's role in memory because our brains process it differently than other senses!
