If we did not know, for example, the occasion which added the word _chouse_ to the English language, we have little doubt that the twofold analogy of form and meaning would have led etymologists to the German _kosen_, (with the very common softening of the _k_ to _ch_,) and that the derivation would have been perfectly satisfactory to most minds.

Mr. Wedgwood's derivation of _cozen_ is ingenious, and perhaps accounts for the doubtful Germ, _kosen_, unless that word itself be the original.
