schnozzle

The origin and history of schnozzle.

Etymology

Probably comes from Yiddish שנויץ (shnoyts, "snout"), which is cognate with German Schnauze ("snout, muzzle") and English snout. The Oxford English Dictionary suggests it may actually be pseudo-Yiddish, coined in English; it is attested since 1930.
