Etymology
The word 'snob' is believed to have originated in England in the late 18th century. Initially, it referred to a shoemaker or a colloquial term for a common person, but over time it evolved to describe someone who aspires to social superiority, particularly by imitating higher social classes. The adjective 'snobby' came into use in the 19th century to denote a characteristic manner or attitude of snobs. The superlative form 'snobbiest' signifies the highest degree of this attitude or behavior, often used in contexts where someone’s elitism is particularly pronounced or offensive. It reflects social dynamics and class distinctions, capturing the essence of how individuals interact based on perceived social stratifications.
