From Middle English snot, from Old English ġesnot, from the same base as snout; probably a sound-copying word, like sniff and snuff.
從中古英文 snot、古英文 ġesnot 來的，跟 snout（動物的口鼻部）同一個字根。它很可能本來就是模仿吸鼻子聲音的字，跟 sniff、snuff 同一家。也就是說，這個字從一開始就長在鼻子上。
Wiktionary entry for snot (kaikki extract, source_ref kaikki:3f6f69a190036ae4:459839590): "From Middle English snot, snotte, from Old English ġesnot ... from the same base as snout; ultimately of onomatopoeic or sound-symbolic origin (compare sniff, snuff...)."
