Definition sneeze

Etymology

From Middle English snesen (�to sneeze�), alteration of earlier fnesen (�to sneeze�), from Old English fn?osan (�to snort, sneeze�), from Proto-Germanic *fneusan? (�to sneeze, snort�), from Proto-Indo-European *pnew- (�to breathe, sneeze�). Cognate with dialectal Dutch fniezen (�to sneeze�), Old Norse fn�sa (�to snort�); Middle English neosen (�to sneeze�), from Old Norse hnj�sa (�to sneeze�), Old High German niosan (�to sneeze�).

The infrequency of the fn combination, coupled with the visual similarity of an f and ? (long s), assisted in ultimately turning fneeze into ?neeze (sneeze) (compare snore, from Middle English fnore).
