tousev.

/taʊz/

Forms: (Middle English to-tuse, Middle English be-touse), 1500s–1600s towse, 1500s–1700s touze, towze, 1500s– touse, 1700s–1800s Scottish and northern dialect toose

/tuz/.

Etymology: The simple verb is known only from c1509; but the compounds with be- and to- are found in Middle English from c1300, pointing to an unrecorded Old English *túsian , Middle English túsen , tousen , cognate with Old High German -zûsôn in zir-zûsôn to pull to pieces, Middle High German er-zûsen , er-zousen , German zausen ; also Low German (East Frisian) tûsen to pull or shake about, tease, treat roughly, North Frisian tuuse to pull by the hair < Old Germanic verb stem *tūs- , closely allied in sense to *tais- , whence tease v.¹ and toze v.¹

Now rare.

a. transitive. To pull roughly about; to drag or push about; to handle roughly; of a dog: to tear at, worry.
