Etymology
From Proto-Germanic *slōhaz, of unknown ultimate origin.
Related to Middle High German sluoche (“ditch”),[1] Middle Low German slōch (“muddy place”).[1] Compare also dialectal Swedish slaga, slage (“swamp”).[2][3]
The related term Old English *slōhtre (“slough” or “(river) ravine”), the source of the place name of the Slaughters, Upper Slaughter and Lower Slaughter (Middle English Sloghtre, Slouhtre[4]), has been suggested to furthermore related to the German placename Schlüchtern (attested in 999 and 1025 as Sluohterin),[5] related to Schlucht (“ravine, gorge”). Kroonen further compares slōh to German Schluche (name of a waterfall near Erfurt), Icelandic slagi (“dampness”) and a variety of other terms.[6]
