Why called DIAZED fuse?

[Cubrilo]

I know this is mostly American forum but I don’t know where else to put this post. For a long time it's bothering me why it is called "DIAZED" fuse. Is it some German word or what? Does anybody know the explanation? Thank you all.

for more info about DIAZED or Bottle fuses. "Bottle" sounds English somewhat. The fuses are used in some parts of Central Europe.
