Etymology 1

Chiefly Low German, also to a lesser degree Central German variant of schlecht (“bad”). From Middle Low German slicht and northern Middle High German sliht, both “flat, straight, simple”, from Proto-Germanic *slihtaz. Cognate with Dutch slecht, English slight. The i-form was used since the 17th century to distinguish it from the new sense of “bad” that schlecht had developed. Full semantic split between both forms only during the 19th century. Compare also schlichten (“to mediate”).
