“Snag” is an English noun and verb that generally refers to an unexpected problem, difficulty, or obstacle that disrupts progress.

It can also mean a sharp or rough projection, like a broken branch or a rough edge that can catch or tear something. As a verb, “to snag” means to catch or tear on something sharp, or informally, to quickly obtain or secure something, often with the implication of acting fast or opportunistically.
