Etymology

The word 'snob' originated in the early 19th century, initially used in the British upper class to denote a person who was not of noble birth but tried to imitate the manners and lifestyles of the genteel. The term is thought to have derived from an abbreviation of 'sine nobilitate', a Latin phrase meaning 'without nobility', which was used in academic contexts to categorize individuals lacking noble lineage. Over time, the meaning expanded to encompass a broader range of attitudes, particularly relating to social superiority and pretentiousness. The adjective form, 'snobby', emerged later, with 'snobbier' being adopted as its comparative. This evolution reflects societal attitudes regarding class distinctions and the behaviors exhibited by those aspiring to higher social statuses.
