Snob

snob - word origin

"late 18th cent. (originally dialect in the sense ‘cobbler’): of unknown origin; early senses conveyed a notion of “lower status or rank”, later denoting a person trying to imitate those of higher social standing or wealth. Folk etymology connects the word with Latin sine nobilitate ‘without nobility’ but the first recorded sense has no connection with this." daqui
