Etymologie (Engels)

From Middle Dutch slecke, slacke, from Old Dutch *slekki (attested in personal names), from Proto-Germanic *slikkō, perhaps ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *sliǵ-ōn, from *sley- (“smooth; slick; sticky; slimy”). Cognate with Luxembourgish Schleek, German Low German Slacke, Slack (“snail”).
