Etimologie (Engels)

In summary

From Low German smorkeln, smurkeln (“to seethe, sizzle, smoulder”), iterative of smorken (“to smoulder”), derived from smoren (“to burn slowly, to braise”), whence German schmoren, probably through a blend with smoken (“to smoke”) (see Schmauch). Possibly introduced into literary German, and at least popularised, by Wilhelm Busch in his famous Max und Moritz (1865).
