Definitions and meaning of slaids

slaids

Latvian

Etymology

From *slaidus, from Proto-Baltic *sleid-, *slaid-, from Proto-Indo-European *sleidʰ- (“slippery, to slide”) (whence also slīdēt (“to slide”), q.v.), which is ultimately from the same stem as laist (“to let”): *ley- (“to let, to let go”) with an extra -dʰ and an s-mobile). Cognate with Latvian slidens (“slippery”), slaids also meant originally “slippery,” with the following semantic evolution: “slippery” > “smooth, even” > “delicate, slender” > “slim, slender” (“tall and thin”).
