To treat someone rudely by ignoring them or rejecting them deliberately, often to show disrespect.
From Old Norse 'snubba' meaning 'to rebuke' or 'to check.' The word originally referred to physical checking or stopping, then evolved to mean social rejection.
Snubbing someone was originally a nautical term for suddenly checking a rope—it meant to stop something sharply, and now it means to stop engaging with a person.
