How to spell sneeze

What it means: To suddenly force air out through the nose and mouth.

In a sentence: When I smell flowers, sometimes I sneeze. ▶

The part people get wrong

Watch for double e. Often misspelled as sneese or sneez.

Same family: sneezes, sneezed, sneezing, sniffle, cough. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.

Where it comes from: Sneeze comes from Middle English “snesen,” which was influenced by the older word “fnesen,” meaning to snort. People gradually changed the first sound, and over time the modern spelling and pronunciation “sneeze” became standard.
