Origin Late 16th century (originally in nautical use in the sense 'shipshape, compact, prepared for bad weather'): probably of Low German or Dutch origin. The first use of snug was as a sailors' term, probably from German or Dutch, that meant ‘shipshape, properly prepared for bad weather’: ‘Captain Read…ordered the Carpenters to cut down our Quarter Deck to make the Ship snug and the fitter for Sailing’ (William Dampier, A New Voyage Around the World, 1697). A small, comfortable room in a pub was known as a snug from the 1830s, but the original name was a snuggery—in The Pickwick Papers (1837) Charles Dickens refers to ‘the snuggery inside the bar’. There used to be a verb snug that meant ‘to lie or nestle closely’, and from this we get snuggle (late 17th century).
