Definitions

  1. A latch or catch.

Word origin

From Middle English snek, sneke, snekke, of uncertain origin. Cognate with Scots sneck. Possibly from Old English *snecce, from Proto-West Germanic *snakikā, ultimately from Proto-Germanic *snak- (“to blow; sniff; nibble”) and thus related to English snatch.

Used in a sentence
