The projecting nose and mouth area of an animal, especially a pig or other mammal with an elongated face.

Where the word comes from

From Middle English *snoute*, likely borrowed from Old Norse *snútr*, meaning nose or snout.

The word entered English during the Viking period and stuck around, applied to animal noses and later to human noses in contemptuous contexts.
