| Remarks | 'snapper', from 'snap' from 'snack', i.e., orignally meant 'bite' and was used for a 'quick meal' (as in 'to have a bite to eat') from the 18th century on; borrowed from Dutch 'snac' or 'snack', i.e., bite, and closely related to 'snappen', i.e., seize, which was the source of the English 'snap' (p. 485 in Ref. 11979). |
