Ετυμολογία (English)

Inherited from Παλαιά Αγγλικά: slītan

Cognate with Λατινικά: laedo

In summary

From Old English slītan, from Proto-Germanic *slītaną (“to tear apart”), from Proto-Indo-European *(s)leyd- (“to tear, rend (cut apart), split apart”). Possibly cognate with Latin laed- (“to strike, hurt, injure”). Doublet of slite; also related to slice through French borrowing.
