   • 1887, Fanny Chambers Gooch, Face to Face with the Mexicans, Chapter XVI, p. 489:

     At length the acme of a typical Mexican scene was reached when the burros unceremoniously raised their nozzles and brayed loud and long.

4. The part of an earbud that accomodates eartips.

   The shape of the nozzle prevents the use of aftermarket eartips.
