Origin of the word hazel

The word "hazel" has its roots in Old English and Germanic languages. The Modern English word "hazel" is derived from the Old English word "hæsel", which referred to the tree Corylus avellana, commonly known as the Hazel tree. This word is also related to the Old English word "hæsl" meaning "to snare" or "to catch", likely due to the Hazel tree's edible nuts, which were an important food source for humans and animals. In Middle English (circa 11th-15th centuries), the word "hazel" evolved to refer not only to the tree, but also to the nuts and products made from them, such as hazelnut oil and hazel wood. Today, the word "hazel" remains a common term in English to describe the tree, its nuts, and various products derived from it.
