What sneak means

To move quietly and secretly so as to avoid being noticed or detected.

Where the word comes from

From Middle English *sneken*, likely from Old Norse *snika*, meaning to creep or crawl. The Old Norse root may be related to Proto-Germanic words for sneaking or creeping. The word entered English through Scandinavian settlement and contact, particularly in northern regions, and by the 15th century had taken on its modern sense of moving stealthily or acting deceptively.
