Definition snore

Etymology

From Middle English snoren, fnoren (“to snore loudly; snort”), from Middle English snore, *fnore (“snore; snort”, noun), from Old English fnora (“snort; sneezing”), from Proto-Germanic *fnuzô, from Proto-Indo-European *pnew- (“to breathe; snort; sneeze”). Compare also Proto-Germanic *snarkjan?, Middle Low German snorren (“to drone”), Dutch snorren (“to hum, purr”).

The infrequency of the “fn” combination coupled with the visual similarity of an “f” and “?” (long “s”) assisted in ultimately turning “fnore” into “?nore (snore)” (compare sneeze, from Middle English fnese).
