Nguồn gốc từ

From Middle English slaughter, from Old Norse *slahtr, later sláttr, from Proto-Germanic *slahtrą, from Proto-Germanic *slahaną. Equivalent to slay + --ter (as in laughter). Eventually derived from Proto-Indo-European *slak- (to hit, strike, throw). Related with slachten, schlachten, lahdata (all “to slaughter”).
