Etymology

The phrase 'sneak a look' originated from the word 'sneak,' which dates back to the late 16th century and originally meant to move or go in a stealthy or furtive manner. The addition of 'a look' emphasizes the act of looking in a secretive or sly way. Over time, the phrase has become commonly used in informal speech and writing to describe a quick, furtive glance at something.
