Word origin
The term 'snob' originated in the late 18th century and was initially used to refer to a shoemaker or his apprentice. It later evolved to describe someone who looks down on those considered inferior in terms of social status, wealth, or taste. The concept of snobbery is deeply rooted in class distinctions and has been a subject of social critique for centuries.
