Origin Middle English: apparently an alteration of Middle English fnese due to misreading or misprinting (after initial fn- had become unfamiliar), later adopted because it sounded appropriate. When we get a cold we should really start fneezing rather than sneezing. This is because the word comes from medieval English fnese. People were not used to seeing the fn- combination at the beginning of a word by then, and someone must have mistaken f for the long medieval s, which looked like an f without a cross bar, and written it down as sn- instead.
