different between sneeze vs atishoo
sneeze
English
Etymology
From Middle English snesen (“to sneeze”), alteration of earlier fnesen (“to sneeze”), from Old English fn?osan (“to snort, sneeze”), from Proto-West Germanic *fneusan, from Proto-Germanic *fneusan? (“to sneeze, snort”), from Proto-Indo-European *pnew- (“to breathe, pant, snort, sneeze”). Cognate with dialectal Dutch fniezen (“to sneeze”), Old Norse fnýsa (“to snort”).
Compare neeze, from Middle English nesen, from Old English *hn?osan (“to sneeze”), cognate to Old Norse hnjósa (“to sneeze”), Old High German niosan (“to sneeze”).
It has been suggested that the change could be due to a misinterpretation of the uncommon initial sequence fn- as ?n- (sn- written with a long s), although the change is regular, seen also in snore and snort from Middle English fnoren and fnorten, and in late Middle English snatted from earlier Middle English fnatted (“snub-nosed”). The fn- forms of all these words fell out of use in the 1400s.
