The word Snob is originated from the 19 century in England. Ever since industrial revolution, the bourgeois was able to make their children enter a high-class school which used to be only exclusive for the noble class children. 

At that time, the children of nobble class was called “Nob” and the rest bourgeois was called “Sine Nob” which means he`s not a noble class. That`s the origination of the word Snob.

속물이라는 단어는 19세기 영국에서 유래됐어. 산업혁명 이후, 부르즈아는 자식들을 귀족 자제들만 다녔던 상류학교로 보낼 수 있었어. 당시에 귀족 자제는 Nob, 부르즈아 자제는 Sine Nob 이라고 불렸어. 즉, Sine Nob은 귀족이 아니라는 뜻인데 이게 속물이라는 단어의 근원이야.
