From Middle English slade (“low-lying ground, a valley; a flat grassy area, glade; hollows of clouds; a creek, stream; a channel”), from Old English slæd (“valley, glade”), from Proto-West Germanic *slad, from Proto-Germanic *sladą (“glen, valley”), of uncertain origin. Perhaps from Proto-Germanic *sladaną (“to glide, slip”) or Proto-Germanic *sladdaz (“to be slack, droop”). Compare Old Norse slóð (“track, trail”).
