SNIFFLED Meaning and
Definition
-
Sniffled is a verb that refers to the act of repeatedly sniffling, making small and quick inhalations through the nose, often due to nasal congestion caused by a cold, allergies, or emotions such as sadness. It is characterized by audibly and rhythmically inhaling through the nostrils, causing a brief whistle-like sound. Sniffles are generally associated with a slight runny nose and symptoms such as congestion, a feeling of stuffiness, and mild discomfort in the nasal passages.
The term can also be used metaphorically to describe someone who is suppressing tears or exhibiting signs of being emotionally upset. In this context, sniffling indicates the presence of tears or the effort to hold them back, and it is commonly observed when someone is trying to control their emotions in an attempt to appear strong or avoid drawing attention to their feelings.
The word "sniffled" can be used both as a transitive verb (someone sniffled loudly) or an intransitive verb (she sniffled throughout the movie). It can be used to describe a person's behavior, often characterized by the repetitive action of inhaling sharply through the nose, or to refer to the sound produced during this act.
Overall, sniffled is a linguistic representation of the familiar action and sound involving repeated nasal inhalations heard when someone has a runny nose, allergies, or is emotionally moved.

Etymology of SNIFFLED
The word sniffle is derived from the Middle English word snifflen, which itself comes from the Old English word snyflan.

Over time, snifflen evolved into sniffle, which eventually became the verb sniffled.
