Knust.
heel of bread
Meaning & usage
heel of bread
Where this word comes from
Borrowed from Low German Knuust, from Middle Low German knūst. Compare Dutch knoest and knuist. Possibly from Proto-Indo-European *ǵénus (“cheek, jaw, chin”) and its synonymous derivative *ǵn̥h₂dʰ(h₁)-. Then cognate with Latvian zods (“chin, sharp edge”), Lithuanian žándas (“cheek”) and Ancient Greek γνάθος (gnáthos, “jaw, point, edge”). The same etymology should apply to the dialectal variants Knaus, Kniestchen Knietzchen, Knuß, Knützchen, Knuz. Further variants such as Knapp, Knäppchen, Knippche, Knuf are close-by (labial instead of dental enlargement, such as in Knopf).
