What language did the word snorkel originate?

The word "snorkel" originates from the German word "Schnorchel".

It's interesting to note that the word didn't exist in German before the invention of the diving device itself. It was coined in the early 20th century, likely by combining the German word "schnarchen" (to snore) with "Röhre" (tube).
