a nose with legs that decided your couch was its detective headquarters
means A small to medium-sized hound with a short coat, drooping ears, and a famously keen sense of smell, originally bred to hunt hares and rabbits by scent.
from The word surfaces in late medieval English, possibly from the Old French 'beegueule,' meaning 'open throat' or 'noisy fellow' (from 'bayer,' to gape, and 'gueule,' mouth) — a nod to the breed's loud, baying voice. The connection is plausible but not certain, and the true root remains a bit murky; some have linked it to a Celtic or Welsh word for 'small,' though that's harder to pin down. Either way, by the 15th century 'beagle' was the English name for these compact, vocal little hunting hounds.
