snorkel 通風(fēng)井，通風(fēng)管道，浮潛裝備，浮潛

來自德國海軍俚語 Schnorchel,潛水艇通風(fēng)井，字面意思即鼻子，鼻孔，詞源同 snore,打呼嚕。 -el,小詞后綴。因潛水艇通風(fēng)井從外觀和噴氣的聲音都與鼻孔有所類似而得名。后用于指浮潛裝備，浮潛運動，拼寫也俗化為英式拼寫 snorkel.

snorkel (n.): 1944, "airshaft for submarines," from German Schnorchel, from German navy slang Schnorchel "nose, snout," related to schnarchen "to snore" (see snore (n.)). So called from its resemblance to a nose and its noise when in use. The anglicized spelling first recorded 1949. The meaning "curved tube used by a swimmer to breathe under water" is first recorded 1951.
