the.com/nose
the body's only organ that lets you taste danger before you touch it
means The facial organ used for breathing and smelling, sitting between the eyes and the mouth.
from From Old English 'nosu,' rooted in the Proto-Germanic '*nuso' and the older Proto-Indo-European '*nas-' — a sound-shape that gave Latin 'nasus' (whence 'nasal') and the 'nos' lurking in 'nostril' (literally 'nose-hole'). It's one of those ancient body-words that barely changed over thousands of years; the thing on your face has been called something very close to 'nose' since long before English existed.
