Etimologia (Inglese)

Ereditato da inglese medio: slugge

Affine svedese: sloka

In summary

Unclear. Perhaps from Middle English slugge, from Old Norse slókr (“lazy fellow”). See also Swedish sloka (“to slouch, wilt”), related to Swedish slak (“slack, soft and flexible”) and Latin laxus (“loose, slack”).
