- snore
- snore: [14] Like snort [14] (which originally meant ‘snore’), snore goes back ultimately to a prehistoric Germanic base *snor-, imitative of the sound it represents. From the same source came German schnarchen ‘snore’, which produced the German dialect noun schnorchel ‘snout’. The mainstream language adopted it as a term for a ‘breathing tube’, and English borrowed it as snorkel [20].
