Nguồn gốc từ

From Middle English slippen, probably from slippen, from *slippian, from *slippjan, from Proto-Germanic *slipjaną (to glide), an iterative form of *slīpaną (to slip, slide), from Proto-Indo-European *sleyb- (slimy; to slide). Possibly ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *slewbʰ- (slip, slide), or related to Proto-Germanic *slībaną (to split); related to slipor.
