Etymology
Snoring comes from the simple sound of heavy breathing at night — it is a word that copies that noise and comes from the verb snore, which is like the German word schnarchen. So, because the word itself copies the sound, snoring means the noisy breathing you hear when someone sleeps ('to breathe noisily while sleeping').
