Etymology
The word 'sneaky' originates from the early 19th century, derived from the verb 'sneak', which is believed to have come from the Middle English word 'sneken', meaning to creep or move stealthily. The adjective form developed as a way to describe behavior characterized by stealth, deceit, and evasion. The suffix '-iest' is added to indicate the superlative degree, making 'sneakiest' an adjective that denotes the highest level of sneakiness. Over time, it has been used in various contexts, often associated with underhanded actions or concealed intentions.
