Etymology
From Proto-Indo-European *sneygʷʰ- (“to snow”).[1] The meaning of "to love, be attached" may have evolved from a secondary slang meaning of snow: "to stick, remain", referring to the nature of snow, as well as "whitish bodily fluids which are compared to snow, notably snot and spit",[2] to stick to itself. Another example in this context is semen. This offers two senses of development:
- as a simile of companionship, love: "sticking with someone"
- as a euphemism for the act of making love, involving body fluids: "sticky like snow"
