Etymology
Snitchy comes from the common English verb snitch, which means 'to tell on someone' or 'inform', and the ending -y means 'full of' or 'like'. A helpful way to remember it is to think of a class 'tattletale' who often tells secrets, which is why snitchy describes someone who tends to inform on others and is usually disliked.
