"ūsa" meaning in Latvian

See ūsa in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [ūːsa]
Etymology: Borrowed from Old East Slavic усъ (usŭ, “moustache, beard”) (compare Russian усы́ (usý, “moustache”)). The word apparently entered the language in the 18th century, at first mostly in more Eastern dialects: at the beginning of the 19th century, it was still little known in northern Vidzeme. By the mid-19th century, however, it had become more widely known, albeit with variations (ūse, ūsi, ūsas). The form ūsas became stable only at the end of the 19th century.

The word apparently entered the language in the 18th century, at first mostly in more Eastern dialects: at the beginning of the 19th century, it was still little known in northern Vidzeme. By the mid-19th century, however, it had become more widely known, albeit with variations (ūse, ūsi, ūsas). The form ūsas became stable only at the end of the 19th century.",
