Etymology
From Middle English snesen ( “ to sneeze ” ) , alteration of earlier fnesen ( “ to sneeze ” ) , from Old English fnēosan ( “ to snort, sneeze ” ) , from Proto-Germanic *fneusaną ( “ to sneeze, snort ” ) , from Proto-Indo-European *pnew- ( “ to breathe, pant, snort, sneeze ” ) . Cognate with dialectal Dutch fniezen ( “ to sneeze ” ) , Old Norse fnýsa ( “ to snort ” ) ; Middle English neosen ( “ to sneeze ” ) , from Old Norse hnjósa ( “ to sneeze ” ) , Old High German niosan ( “ to sneeze ” ) .
The infrequency of the fn combination, coupled with the visual similarity of an f and ſ (long s ), assisted in ultimately turning fneeze into ſneeze (sneeze) (compare snore , from (deprecated template usage ) [etyl] Middle English fnore ).
