1. Another would have shut me up with a snub, but my father patiently heard me out and took pains to justify his view to me.

- snub (adj.) "short and turned up," 1725, in snub-nosed, from snub (v.). The connecting notion is of being "cut short."
- snub (n.) "rebuke, intentional slight," 1530s, from snub (v.).
- snub (v.) mid-14c., "to check, reprove, rebuke," from Old Norse snubba "to curse, chide, snub, scold, reprove." The ground sense is perhaps "to cut off," and the word probably is related to snip. Compare Swedish snobba "lop off, snuff (a candle)," Old Norse snubbotr "snubbed, nipped, with the tip cut off." Meaning "treat coldly" appeared early 18c. Related: Snubbed; snubbing.
