Etymology

Inherited from Middle French oyseau, from Old French oisel c. 1100, from Late Latin aucellus m (“little bird”), a diminutive ultimately based on Latin avis f (“bird”), from Proto-Italic *awis, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂éwis. Compare Norman ouaîsé, Franco-Provençal usél.
Compare also the French oie (“goose”), derived from another diminutive of avis.
