Etymology of SNAGGED

The word "snagged" as a verb comes from the noun "snag", which has its origins in the Old Norse word "snagi" meaning "clothes peg" or "a sharp projecting point". Over time, "snag" came to refer to any sharp or pointed object that poses an obstacle or gets caught on something. In the late 18th century, "snag" acquired the figurative sense of a difficulty or hindrance, and the verb form "to snag" emerged to describe the act of getting caught or entangled on a projection or obstacle. Today, "snagged" is commonly used to indicate something that has gotten caught, hooked, or impeded in some way.
