Etymology
The word 'snarly' is believed to have originated in American English in the mid-19th century, derived from the verb 'snarl' which itself comes from the Middle English 'snarlen' meaning to make a growling noise. The word 'snarl' can be traced back to the Old English 'snearlian,' which is related to the word 'snare,' referring to something that entangles or traps. The superlative form 'snarliest' follows the standard English convention of adding the suffix '-est' to adjectives to indicate the highest degree of a quality. Over time, 'snarliest' has evolved to not just describe aggressive animals, such as dogs, but also to characterize people in social contexts, especially when expressing frustration or anger.
