Etimologia (Inglês)

Herdado de inglês médio: snacche

Cognato com inglês médio: snik snak

Herdado de inglês médio: sniken

Herdado de inglês arcaico: 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.
