词汇	snite
词源	snite v. "to blow or wipe the nose, cast away mucus," c. 1100, sniten, now Scottish and dialectal, from Old English snytan, related to Old Norse snyta, Middle Dutch snuten, Old High German snuzen, German schneuzen "to blow one's nose," and to snot. Nose-sniting "blowing of the nose" is attested from early 15c. Entries linking to snite snot n. late 14c., snotte, from Old English gesnot "nasal mucus," from Proto-Germanic snuttan (source also of Old Frisian snotta, Middle Low German and Middle Dutch snotte, Middle Low German snute), from the same base as snout (q.v.). Old English had also a verb snite "wipe or pick one's nose." The meaning "despicable person" is from 1809. Snot-rag* "pocket handkerchief" is by 1886. snit n. "state of inappropriate agitation, fit of childish temper," 1939, American English, of unknown origin. First in Claire Boothe's "Kiss the Boys Good-bye," which gives it a U.S. Southern context. Snitty (adj.) appears to be slightly older. It likely is unrelated to Middle English snit "glowing part of a wick after the candle has been blown out," which is related to snite. updated on February 05, 2023
