覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
snubbed は snub の過去形・過去分詞で、短母音の後の語末 b を重ねて -ed を付け、/snʌbd/ と発音します。形容詞では feel snubbed、look snubbed の形で、「挨拶を返されない」「功績を無視される」など、意図的に軽んじられたと感じる状態を表します。単なる unnoticed より冷たい拒絶の含みがあります。
Snubbed is the past tense and past participle of snub. Since snub has a short stressed vowel followed by one final consonant, double the b before adding -ed; the result is pronounced /snʌbd/. As an adjective, it often appears in feel snubbed, look snubbed, or be snubbed by someone. Picture offering a greeting and receiving a deliberately cold silence, or being omitted from recognition despite long service. Unlike merely being unnoticed, being snubbed normally suggests a pointed lack of courtesy, respect, or acknowledgment.

snubbed の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古ノルド語 snubba（叱る、短く切る）が起源。鼻を切り詰めるように冷たくあしらう意味に発展した。関連語：snub-nosed（鼻がつんとした）、rebuff（拒絶する）。「短く切る」→「冷たく切り捨てる」という比喩的拡張が核心。
Snub is generally traced to Old Norse snubba, meaning to rebuke, scold, or check. Its senses developed through the idea of stopping someone short or treating someone sharply, producing the modern meaning of deliberately ignoring or slighting a person. Snubbed is formed by doubling the final b and adding -ed; as a participial adjective, it describes the person who receives such treatment.
