Etymology
From Middle Dutch sluuc (“limp”), of uncertain origin. Possibly related to English slouch, which could be from Proto-Germanic *slakaz (“slack, weak”); or otherwise *slūm- (“slack, flabby”). Also compare sluimeren (“to slumber”) and the root of German schlau. See: German Adjectives '
schlau'.
