The word "sneeze" was originally spelled "fneze" or "fnese". The respelling was adopted because the "s" sound sounded more like a sneeze.

@qikipedia This fact seems… dubious given f and s were often written in a very similar fashion. I suspect the real reason the respecting was adopted is because this style of writing the letter s was dropped. https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/37982/use-of-f-instead-of-s-in-historic-printed-english-documents
