slit‧tà‧re

Pronounced as (IPA)

/zlitˈta.re/

Uncertain; possibly ultimately from Germanic: compare Old High German slītan (“to slide”) (< Proto-Indo-European *sleydʰ- (“to be slippery, slide”)). Compare also Spanish, Galician, and Portuguese deslizar. By surface analysis, slitta + -are. Cognate with Piedmontese slité.
