Nguồn gốc từ
Borrowing from - or Dutch slim (bad, sly, clever), from Middle Dutch slim (bad, crooked), from *slimb, from *slimb, from Proto-Germanic *slimbaz (oblique, crooked). The sense development would have been "slanting, cunning" (Dutch) > "insignificant, slight" and then "thin, graceful" in English, a shift that Liberman calls an "incredible amelioration" of word meaning.
