Etymology

The word 'snooze' originated in the early 19th century, derived from the German word 'schnarchen' meaning 'to snore'. It initially referred to the act of snoring, but over time, it evolved to mean a short period of sleep, especially in the context of waking up and then going back to sleep for a brief moment.
