How Do You Spell SNUCK?

Pronunciation: [snˈʌk] (IPA)

The spelling of the word "snuck" has caused confusion and debate for many English language learners. The correct pronunciation uses a glottal stop sound represented by the symbol /ʔ/ at the end, creating a two-syllable word pronounced as /snʌk/. However, the spelling of "snuck" is irregular, breaking the pattern of verbs ending in -ed for the past tense. This non-standard spelling has been used since the late 1800s in North America, while British English continues to use "sneaked."

Etymology of SNUCK

The word snuck is an irregular past tense form of the verb sneak. It originated in the United States in the late 19th century as a regional variation, mainly used in informal and dialectal speech. The etymology of snuck is a blend or corruption of two other past tense forms of sneak: sneaked and snicked. Sneaked comes from the Old English word sneakian. Snicked, on the other hand, is a Scottish dialectal variant of snatch or sneak. Over time, the two forms got combined, resulting in the creation of snuck. Today, snuck is widely used in informal and colloquial American English, and is recognized as a nonstandard but acceptable past tense of sneak.
