Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The words using the "sn" sound sequence and being nose-related are referred to as phonesthemes. Phonesthemes are sound sequences that carry a meaning on their own, and "sn" in such words represents the sound of a nose being affected in some way. Onomatopoeia refers to words whose sounds imitate the things they describe, morphemes are the smallest units of meaning in language, and phonemes are the smallest units of sound that distinguish one word from another.
