Etymology
From earlier smuckle, either from Dutch smokkelen (“to smuggle”), a frequentative form of Middle Dutch sm?ken (“to act secretly, be sneaky”), or from Dutch Low Saxon or German Low German smuggeln. The Dutch and Low German words are both ultimately from Proto-Germanic *smeugan? (“to creep; slip through or into”), from Proto-Indo-European *smewk-, *smewg- (“to slip, glide; be slimy”). Cognate with Saterland Frisian smukkeln (“to move insidiously, smuggle”), West Frisian smokkelje (“to smuggle”), German schmuggeln (“to smuggle”), Danish smugle (“to smuggle”), Swedish smuggla (“to smuggle”). Related also to Icelandic smjúga (“to creep, penetrate”), Swedish smyga (“to sneak, slip, crawl, lurk, steal”), German schmiegen (“to nestle, wrap, snuggle”), Old English sm?ogan, sm?gan (“to creep, crawl, move gradually, penetrate”).
