Etimologie (Engels)

Geërf van Middle High German: snurren

Verwante met Nederlands: snorren

Verwante met Engels: snarl

In summary

From Middle High German snurren, ablaut variant of snarren (whence modern schnarren), ultimately of imitative origin (lautmalend); compare Dutch snorren, as well as English snarl. Pfeifer ultimately connects these terms to an onomatopoeic Proto-Indo-European *(s)nur- (“to grumble, growl”), and adduces nörgeln (“to nag, grumble”) as a cognate.
