👉 A snivel is a term in the English language that refers to something that appears as if it were not intended or done with the intention of being done, or which is so strange and unusual that one cannot understand its purpose. The word comes from Latin "svinilus," meaning "to hide" or "to conceal." In English, snivels often refer to a character who is not supposed to be there, but instead appears in order to make a point or do something unexpected.
