Where this word comes from
From Middle High German smetern (“to chatter, rattle”). In several dialects the word also means “to make a smacking sound”, which is perhaps the original meaning. Probably related with English smatter, Swedish smattra, though in all languages the word is attested rather late. Compare also German schnattern.
