snøggr

Icelandic: snöggur

Faroese: snøggur

desc

Norwegian Nynorsk: snøgg; (dialectal) snogg, snegg

Norwegian Bokmål: snøgg

Swedish: snögg, snygg

→ English: snug

From Proto-Norse ᛊᚾᚨᚷᚹᚢ (*snaggwu-), from Proto-Germanic *snawwaz (“rapid, sudden”).
Compare Dutch snugger (“smart”), which is likely related and may be borrowed from a North Germanic language. However, this is disputed by Etymologiebank, as the Dutch cannot be related to the Norse via direct inheritance from Proto-Germanic, and that a mutual borrowing is unlikely.
The "short-haired" sense is likely related to the "swift" sense, via sense relations "swift, rapid" > "sharp, trimmed"; however, the order of semantic development is somewhat disputed (see the Proto-Germanic for more). See also snauðr (“bare, bald”) for similar semantics.

compound

early 1200s, Snorri Sturluson, Háttatal
Svá skal hendingar setja í dróttkvæðum hætti, at in síðari hending í hverju vísuorði, er heitir viðrhending, hon skal standa í þeiri samstöfu, er ein er síðar, en sú hending, er frumhending heitir, stendr stundum í upphafi orðs, köllum vér þá oddhending, stundum í miðju orði, köllum vér þá hluthending. Þetta er dróttkvæðr háttr. Með þeim hætti er flest ort, þat er vandat er. Þessi er upphaf allra hátta, sem málrúnar eru fyrir öðrum rúnum.

One shall place hendings such in court-recited verse-form, that the latter hending in each line, which is called the withhending, should be placed in the next-to-last syllable. But that hending, which is called firsthending, at times stands in the beginning of the line, then we call it an oddhending; but at times in the middle of the line, then we call it a lothending. This is court-recited verse-form. In this verse-form most elaborate poetry is composed. This is the origin of all verse-forms, just as speech-runes come before other runes.

(poetry) dróttkvætt, a poetic meter characterized by strict patterns of stave-rhyme and internal rhyme
