Nostrils

/ˈnɑːstrəlz/ noun

Definition

The two openings in your nose through which you breathe and smell.

Etymology

From Old English 'nosthyrl' or 'nostril', a combination of 'nos' (nose) and 'thyrl' (hole or opening). The compound was formed to specifically describe the holes in the nose.

Kelly Says

Humans can distinguish between thousands of different smells partly because we have two nostrils that work together—they actually help us figure out which direction a smell is coming from, similar to how two ears help us locate sounds.
