SNARER Meaning and Definition

1. Snarer is a noun that refers to an individual or device used for trapping animals or catching them in a snare. It is derived from the verb "snare," which means to catch or entrap something or someone using a snare. A snare is a form of trap made by intertwining or intertwisting a flexible material, such as wire or string, into a loop or noose. When an animal comes into contact with the snare, it becomes caught or entangled, restricting its movement.

   A snarer can be a person who sets, maintains, or checks snares in order to capture or kill animals for various purposes, including fur trading, hunting, or population control. This term is often associated with activities such as trapping, where the snarer positions snares strategically along animal trails or in areas with high animal activity. Snares are chosen depending on the target animal and the desired outcome, allowing for a diverse range of trapping techniques and practices.

   Alternatively, a snarer can also represent a device or equipment specifically designed for setting snares. These may include spring-loaded mechanisms, tensioners, or other mechanisms to improve the effectiveness and reliability of the trap, ensuring the snare tightens around the animal once it is ensnared.

   Overall, in both noun forms, snarer refers to those who use snares, either as individuals engaged in trapping activities or the tools they employ to capture animals.

2. One who snares.

Etymology of SNARER

The word "snarer" comes from the noun "snare", which refers to a device used for trapping or catching animals. The term "snare" originated in the late Middle English period, around the 15th century, and is derived from the Old Norse word "snara", meaning "noose" or "cord". The Old Norse term itself has its roots in the Proto-Germanic word "*snar-" or "*snarōną", which also meant "snare" or "noose". Ultimately, the Proto-Germanic word is believed to have come from the Proto-Indo-European root "*snēr-", meaning "to twist" or "zigzag".
