Etymology
In summary
From Middle Low German slap (“flaccid”), from Proto-Germanic *slap-, perhaps ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *(s)leh₂b- (“to be weak, limp, languid”), see also Latin labō (“fluctuate, waver”). Doublet of schlaff, which is often interchangeable in modern German. Also cognate with Dutch slap.
