Etymology

Inherited from Middle High German: sniuzen

Inherited from Old High German: snūzen

In summary

From Middle High German sniuzen, from Old High German snūzen, snūzōn, from Proto-Germanic *snūtijaną. The ä was introduced in 1996 due to an alleged folk-etymological connection to Schnauze, as also in Greuel / Gräuel, but such spellings are even controversial to many a voice who adheres to the reformed rules.
