Etymology
Inherited from Old Swedish snīkin, from Proto-Germanic *snīkaną. Related to snika and English sneak. Despite superficially having the form of a past participle, originally it was rather suffixed with an adjectival ending meaning "inclined to". Compare with the adjectives fiken, riven, sticken.
