Etymology

From Proto-Germanic *slōhaz, of unknown ultimate origin.

Related to Middle High German sluoche (“ditch”), Middle Low German slōch (“muddy place”). Compare also dialectal Swedish slaga, slage (“swamp”).

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), has been suggested to furthermore related to the German placename Schlüchtern (attested in 999 and 1025 as Sluohterin), 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.
