Etymology
Snobbism comes from snob plus the ending -ism, where snob means someone who thinks they are better than others and -ism means 'a belief or habit'. One popular story says snob began as a joke about being 'without nobility', but the easy way to remember snobbism is that it is the habit or attitude of acting like a snob and looking down on people of lower status.
