Etymology
In summary
From either Middle Low German slam or Middle High German slam, which Pfeifer derives from a Proto-Germanic *slambaz, to which he considers schlemmen and Schlampe related. He further derives the term from Proto-Indo-European *(s)lembʰ- (“to hang limply”), for which see Proto-Germanic *limpaną (“to glide, hang down”) for more.
