Proto-West Germanic
Etymology
Unknown. Possibly from Proto-Indo-European *(s)ley- (“smooth, slick; sticky, slimy”), the same source as *slīm (“slime”) and *līm (“glue”).[1] For the semantics, compare Proto-West Germanic *slīpan (“to whet, sharpen”), Old High German slīman (“to make smooth”), Proto-Celtic *limāti (“to polish, sharpen”), and Latin līma (“carpenter's file”), from the same root.[2]
