Etimologia (Inglese)

Ereditato da inglese medio: slaughter

Affine olandese: slachten

Affine tedesco: schlachten

Affine finlandese: lahdata

In summary

From Middle English slaughter, from Old Norse *slahtr, later sláttr, from Proto-Germanic *slahtrą, from Proto-Germanic *slahaną. Equivalent to slay + -ter (as in laughter). Eventually derived from Proto-Indo-European *slak- (“to hit, strike, throw”). Related with Dutch slachten, German schlachten, Finnish lahdata (all “to slaughter”).
