to creep, slip through or into

Etymology

From Proto-Indo-European *(s)mewk- (‘to slip, slide’), *smewg- (‘to slip, glide; be slimy’), with -g- instead of expected -h-, likely due to influence from the causative or iterative formations. Cognate with Lithuanian smaũkti (‘to pull, don, roll up’), Slovene smúkati (‘to scurry, slip’).
