Etymology

The more original form is schlah(e)n, from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Middle High German slahen, from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Old High German slahan, from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Germanic *slahaną, from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Indo-European *slak- (“to hit, strike, throw”). The modern -g- in the infinitive and present is inserted by analogy with the past forms and the related noun Schlag (see Grammatischer Wechsel).

Cognate with (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Low German and Dutch slaan and Old English slēan (“to strike, beat, smite”) (Modern English slay, slog) as well as (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Danish, (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Swedish and Norwegian slå.
