Where it comes from

From snob + -ism, where the letter b is doubled in order to clarify the pronunciation of the letter o.

noun snobbisms · snobism

  1. countable, uncountable A snobbish attitude, particularly in relation to art or high culture. It is no answer to say that "my" programme in art and letters has gradually been forced through, has, to some extent, grabbed its place in the sun. For one thing, I don't care about "minority culture." I have never cared a damn about snobbisms or for writing ultimately for the few.
