Etimologia (Inglese)

Ereditato da inglese medio: snacche

Affine inglese medio: snik snak

Ereditato da inglese medio: sniken

Ereditato da inglese antico: snīcan

In summary

Origin uncertain. Perhaps an alteration of Middle English snacche (“a trap, snare”), snacchen (“to seize (prey)”, whence modern English snatch). Compare also Middle English snik snak (“a sudden blow, snap”). Alternatively, perhaps from a dialectal variant of sneak, from Middle English sniken, from Old English snīcan (“to creep; crawl”). More at sneak.
