Etymology

Attested from the 16th century. Etymology unclear, but Philippa et al. posit a derivation from Dutch snappen. Compare German Low German snopen (“to nibble, snack, lick”), West Frisian snobje (“buy candy, snack, have an affair”), Norwegian snopa, perhaps all ultimately from Old Norse snópa (“to idle around”), from Proto-Germanic *snōpāną, related to Proto-Germanic *snapāną, *snappōną (“to snap, chatter”).
