Etymology

Inherited from Middle High German: sliunec

Inherited from Old High German: sliumo

In summary

From Middle High German sliunec (“hastily”), from Old High German sliumo, sniumo (“immediately”, literally “moving quickly”), from or related to Proto-West Germanic *sniumijan (“to hurry”). The -l/n replacement seems to have been produced by assimilation on account of the suffix -n (DWDS).
