Etymology
In summary
Borrowed from German Low German snacken, from Middle Low German snacken, from Proto-Germanic *snakkōną (“to open the mouth”). Cognate with Dutch snakken, whence English snack, whence the German doublet Snack. Also related with English snatch and probably (with a different geminate) German schnappen, Dutch snappen, both originally “to snatch”.
