Etymology 2
[edit]Somewhat uncertain; maybe from Proto-Indo-European *h₂leyH- (“to smear”) or *(s)ley-mo- (“slime”). Possible cognates include λίμνη (límnē, “marsh, pool, lake”), Sanskrit लिनाति (lināti, “sticks, stays, adheres to; slips into, disappears”), Ukrainian слимак (slymak, “snail”), Old Church Slavonic слина (slina, “spittle”), Old Irish sligim (“to smear”), leinam (“to follow”, literally “to stick to”), Irish lean, Welsh llyfn (“smooth”), English slime. According to De Vaan, Ancient Greek λεῖμαξ (leîmax, “snail”) is probably conversely borrowed from Latin.[1]
