Etymology
The word 'slaver' comes from the Middle English 'slaverer', which means 'to drool'. Its origins can be traced back to the Old English 'slaf', meaning 'slobber' or 'saliva'. The evolution of the word reflects the natural human and animal behavior of drooling, either due to hunger, excitement, or certain emotions. Over time, it has taken on additional connotations in literature and speech, implying not just the physical act of drooling but also a metaphorical eagerness or desperation. The historical use of the term was prevalent in descriptions of animals, particularly dogs and horses, where the act signified uncontrolled desire for food or attention.
