SNUFFLED Meaning and
Definition
-
Snuffled is a verb that refers to the act of breathing noisily and audibly, typically through the nose, producing a sound similar to a gentle, muffled, or suppressed noise. When someone snuffles, it often involves drawing air in and out of the nose in a way that causes a vibrating or rattling sound. This action might be accompanied by a slight congestion or an obstruction of the nasal passages. Snuffling can occur intentionally or unintentionally and is usually associated with the desire to clear the nostrils or to expel mucus or other irritants.
The term "snuffled" can also describe the behavior displayed by certain animals, notably pigs, when they inhale and exhale rapidly and noisily through their snouts. In such cases, snuffling could serve various purposes, such as searching for food or rooting in the ground.
In a figurative sense, "snuffled" can be used to describe the action of investigating or searching for something carefully and discreetly, often to the point of appearing secretive or furtive. This usage typically implies a quiet and restrained way of examining or researching something.
Overall, "snuffled" can describe the specific act of noisy nose-breathing, denote a behavior exhibited by certain animals, or be used figuratively to depict discreet exploration or scrutiny.

Etymology of SNUFFLED
The word "snuffled" has its origin in the Middle English term "snuffelen", which can be traced back to the Old English word "snofian". Both of these words referred to the act of smelling or sniffling through the nose.
