Etymology

The word 'slumber' comes from the Middle English 'slumer', which is derived from Old English 'slymrian', meaning 'to be dormant or asleep'. The term has roots in the Proto-Germanic word 'slumrลnฤ…', which means 'to sleep'. Over time, 'slumber' has evolved into a poetic and somewhat romanticized term for sleep, often used to describe a restful and peaceful state. By the 14th century, it began to appear more frequently in literature and poetry, often associated with tranquility. The past tense 'slumbered' has been used in various literary works to convey not just the act of sleeping but also to symbolize a deeper metaphor regarding rest and rejuvenation.
