Morphology
Podsnappish + comment
The adjective 'Podsnappish' is not a recognized or analyzable English word in the input (no dictionary entry) and does not transparently decompose into familiar morphemes, so a learner who knows only the constituents cannot reliably infer its meaning. Although 'comment' is transparent and 'snappish' (if recognized) suggests curt or irritable behavior, the unexplained 'Pod-' element makes the overall phrase's sense unpredictable, so the expression is not derivable from its parts.
Etymology
Podsnappish comment may come from the image of someone shutting a small pod with a quick snap — a fast, sharp action that closes things off. So it now means a short, 'brisk and dismissive' remark that ignores other people's views.
