Etymology
A 19th-century borrowing from German Slawen, itself a borrowing from Slavic languages, ultimately either from Old Church Slavonic слово (slovo, “word”) (cf. Russian сло́во (slóvo)), or from an unattested verb *sluti (“to speak (understandably)”) (present tense form *slovǫ; cf. Russian слыть (slytʹ, “to be well known, to be praised”)).
