Etymology
The word 'slash' originates from the late 16th century, derived from the Middle English term 'slashe,' meaning to strike or hit. This term was influenced by the Old Norse word 'slasa,' which meant to strike. Its usage evolved over time, retaining the core meaning related to cutting or striking with violence. The transition from a literal interpretation of cutting to a more metaphorical use, such as 'slashing prices,' showcases the flexibility of the term in English, adapting to various contexts while maintaining its root concept of making a sudden, sharp action.
