Etimologia (Inglês)

Gesicht (“face”) + -s- + Erker (“oriel”). Possibly coined as a linguistic purism to replace Nase (incorrectly perceived to be a loanword from Latin nāsus or one of its Romance descendants) or, more likely, as a satire pointing out the absurdities of linguistic purism. Often misattributed to Philipp von Zesen.
