Etimologia (Inglese)

Ereditato da inglese medio: slogh

Affine gotico: 𐍃𐌻𐌹𐌿𐍀𐌰𐌽

Affine Middle Low German: slô

Affine Old Saxon: slūk

Affine tedesco medio alto: slūch

Affine tedesco: Schlauch

Ereditato da inglese antico: slōh

In summary

From Middle English slogh, slugh, slouh, from Proto-Germanic *sluk-, perhaps related to *sleupaną (“to slip, sneak”) (compare Gothic 𐍃𐌻𐌹𐌿𐍀𐌰𐌽 (sliupan)).
Akin to Middle Low German slô (“sheath, skin on a hoof”). Perhaps also related with Old Saxon slūk (“snakeskin”), Middle High German slūch, whence German Schlauch (“waterskin, hose”).
