Etymology
From Middle High German slöufe, from Old High German sloufa, from Proto-West Germanic *slaupijā. Cognate with Dutch sloop (“pillowcase”). Doublet of Schlaufe (“strap, noose”). Schleife exhibits unrounding, while Schlaufe exhibits Upper German lack of umlaut before a labial. The West Germanic noun is denominal to the verb at hand in Old High German sloufen, causative of sliofan (whence archaic modern schliefen). Related with schlüpfen (“to slip”) and English sleave. See: Dutch Nouns '
sloop', English Nouns '
sleave'.
