Origin

Late Middle English: of unknown origin.

snout from Old English:
Think how many words to do with noses begin with the letters sn-. Most are medieval. There is snout, which in early use could describe not only the projecting part of an animal's face but also an elephant's trunk, and a bird's beak. A variant of snout was snoot (mid 19th century), which is where snooty (early 20th century) comes from—snooty people have their noses stuck in the air. Snot (Late Middle English) and snotty (late 16th century) are also based on snout. Snuff (early 16th century) used to mean ‘to inhale through the nostrils’ before it became a term for powdered tobacco that you inhale through your nostrils. Snuffle (late 16th century) is related. Snivel (Middle English) originally referred to mucus. Snore (Middle English) and snort (Late Middle English) once had each other's meanings—snore meant ‘a snort’ and snort meant ‘to snore’, and both probably imitated the sound.
