    The primary usage of sniggle is in the context of fishing, where it refers to the action of angling or catching fish using a hook and line.

Etymology of SNIGGLE

The word "sniggle" is a relatively recent addition to the English language and does not have a widely documented etymology. It is believed to have originated as a combination of various words and sounds.

One theory suggests that "sniggle" is derived from the word "snicker", which means to laugh in a stifled or half-suppressed manner. It is possible that the word "snicker" was altered or combined with other sounds to create "sniggle".

Another theory proposes that "sniggle" comes from the Scottish word "snig", which means to catch a fish by hooking it in a way that it can’t escape easily. "Sniggle" may have then developed as a playful variation of "snig" to describe catching or hooking something sneakily or cunningly.
