Definitions

  1. cry or whine with snuffling

Word origin

Probably from Low German and Dutch snuffelen (“to snuffle”), equivalent to snuff + -le. Compare also Old English snofl (“snot, nasal mucus”), which might not have survived into Middle English.

Used in a sentence

  • One clad in purple / Eats, and recites some lamentable rhyme […] / Snuffling at nose, and croaking in his throat.
