# nozzle

noun (a nozzle, nozzles)

«nozzle» in the English dictionary: everyday — its meanings, how the lessons use it, and examples, each with its tree on Mova.

A narrow tube or spout at the end of a hose, pipe or can that controls how a liquid or gas comes out. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/N/nozzle/#m1)

### In the lessons

In everyday life: garden hose nozzle, petrol pump nozzle, ketchup bottle nozzle, icing bag nozzle. In science: a narrow nozzle makes water come out faster and further. Safety: never point a hose or spray nozzle at someone's face, and do not look into a spray nozzle.

### Examples

- Turn the nozzle to make a fine spray. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/N/nozzle/#x1)

### Note

Double «z»: nozzle. Countable: a nozzle, nozzles. When the opening is smaller, the same amount of water has to move faster, so it shoots further.
