Etymology
The word 'sneaky' stems from the Middle English term 'sneke', which meant to move stealthily or quietly. It likely derives from the Old English 'snecan', meaning to sneak or slink. The transition into its modern form occurred over centuries alongside the evolution of verbs associated with stealth and deception. The comparative form 'sneakier' reflects the broader patterns of English where adjectives can take on comparative endings to denote a higher degree of a particular quality. In contemporary usage, 'sneakier' often carries a connotation of slyness, where the behavior in question typically invokes a sense of ulterior motives or concealed actions.
