Etymology

From Proto-West Germanic *snakk, from Proto-Germanic *snakkaz, *snakkǭ (“sailing vessel”), from Proto-Germanic *snak- (“to breathe, blow, sigh”). Perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *(s)neh₂- (“to swim, float”). Cognate with Old High German snagga (“a small warship”), Old Norse snekkja (“warship”).
