Etimología (Inglés)

From Middle English slot, from Middle Low German slot or Middle Dutch slot, ultimately from Proto-Germanic *slutą, related to the verb *sleutaną (“to lock”). Cognate with German Schloss (“door-bolt”), Dutch slot.
The verb is probably from Middle Dutch sluten (“to close, to lock”) (Modern Dutch sluiten (“to close”)).
