Etymologie (Engels)

From Proto-Italic *sniks (with oblique stem *sniɣʷ- > niv-), from Proto-Indo-European *snígʷʰs (“snow”), root noun derived from *sneygʷʰ- (“to snow”) (whence also Latin nivit, ningit, ninguit). Direct cognates include Ancient Greek νίψ (níps), Old Irish snechtae, and indirectly also Sanskrit स्नेह (snéha), Old Church Slavonic снѣгъ (sněgŭ), and Old English snāw and snīwan (> English snow and English snew).
