Root Explanation
Nosebleed → The word is formed from "nose" (from Old English "nosu", meaning the part of the face used for breathing and smelling) and "bleed" (from Old English "blēdan", meaning to lose blood). A nosebleed refers to the loss of blood from the nose.
Memory Tip
Think of the 'nose' as the part of the face where the bleeding occurs, and 'bleed' means to lose blood. This helps you remember that a nosebleed is when blood comes from the nose.
