Definition
To breathe noisily and harshly through the mouth and nose while sleeping.
Etymology
From Middle English 'snoren,' possibly from Middle Dutch 'snorren' or Scandinavian origins. The word imitates the actual sound made during sleep.
Kelly Says
About 45% of adults snore sometimes, and it happens because your airway partially closes during sleep—some ancient Romans thought snoring was a sign of good digestion!
