Etimoloxía (Inglés)

In summary

From Middle Dutch snêe, from Old Dutch snēo, from Proto-West Germanic *snaiw, from Proto-Germanic *snaiwaz. The predominant form in earlier Modern Dutch was snee (compare German Schnee). The form sneeuw, which continues the Middle Dutch inflected stem, was reinforced by the verb sneeuwen (“to snow”). The sense "cocaine" (attested 1934) is a semantic loan from English snow.
