Etymology
The word 'snorer' is derived from the verb 'snore', which can be traced back to the Middle English word 'snooren', dating from the late 14th century. This, in turn, originates from the Old Norse word 'snora', which relates to the sound of breathing or snuffling during sleep. The transition from the verb to noun form is typical in English, as many actions described by verbs often lead to a corresponding noun identifying the doer or the phenomenon itself. Snoring has been a common human experience throughout history, with various cultures developing their interpretations and remedies related to it. Literature and folklore often depict snorers in humorous ways, reflecting a universal annoyance that transcends time and culture.
