Etymology

The word 'slot' originated from the Middle Dutch word 'sloot' meaning a narrow opening or trench. It was first used in the 1300s to refer to a bolt or bar for fastening a door or window. Over time, the meaning expanded to include narrow openings for inserting objects, as well as time intervals for scheduling events.
