husmear

/usmeˈaɾ/ · B2 · verb

to snoop, sniff around

🐕👃 husmear = hus(h) + smear of scent: a nose sniffing out a trail

Sounds like 'oos-may-AR': think 'smear' of scent left on a trail. A hound follows the smell smear to track it, and a nosy person does the same, sniffing around in other people's business.
