Etymology

From Proto-West Germanic *sliki, from Proto-Germanic *slikiz, from Proto-Indo-European *sleyg- (“to glide, slide; slimy, slippery”). Cognate with Old Frisian slikk (“mud”).

From the same source as slean (“to hit”), both related to or derived from Proto-West Germanic *slahan (“to strike”).
