snout

snout: [13] Snout and snot [14] are very close etymologically. Both go back ultimately to a prehistoric Germanic base *snut-or *snūt-, source also of obsolete English snite ‘wipe or pick one’s nose’, German schneuzen ‘blow one’s nose’, and German schnauze ‘snout’ (whence English schnauzer ‘German breed of dog’ [20]). The colloquial snoot ‘nose’ [19] is an alteration of snout, and formed the basis of the adjective snooty [20] (the underlying idea being of holding one’s ‘nose’ in the air in a superior way).
=> schnauzer, snooty, snot

snout (n.)

early 13c., "trunk or projecting nose of an animal," from Middle Low German and Middle Dutch snute "snout," from Proto-Germanic *snut- (cognates: German Schnauze, Norwegian snut, Danish snude "snout"), which Watkins traces to a hypothetical Germanic root *snu- forming words having to do with the nose, imitative of a sudden drawing of breath (compare Old English gesnot "nasal mucus;" German schnauben "pant, puff, snort" (Austrian dialect), schnaufen "breathe heavily, pant," Schnupfen "cold in the head;" Old Norse snaldr "snout" (of a serpent), snuthra "to sniff, snuffle"). Of other animals and (contemptuously) of humans from c. 1300.
