"etymology_text": "From Middle English snipe, snype (a type of bird), from Old Norse snípa, as in mýrisnípa (“moor snipe”). Akin to Norwegian snipe.\nThe verb originated in the 1770s among soldiers in British India where a hunter skilled enough to kill the elusive snipe was dubbed a \"sniper\". The term sniper was first attested in 1824 in the sense of the word \"sharpshooter\".",

The term sniper was first attested in 1824 in the sense of the word \"sharpshooter\".",

"etymology_text": "From Middle English snipe, snype (a type of bird), from Old Norse snípa, as in mýrisnípa (“moor snipe”). Akin to Norwegian snipe.\nThe verb originated in the 1770s among soldiers in British India where a hunter skilled enough to kill the elusive snipe was dubbed a \"sniper\". The term sniper was first attested in 1824 in the sense of the word \"sharpshooter\".",
