Etymology
The word 'slung' originated from the Middle English 'slingen', which is the past participle of 'sling'. This word has roots in Old English 'slingan', which means to throw or to hurl. It is related to similar words in other Germanic languages that also convey the idea of throwing or casting. The development of 'sling' into its current forms has been marked by a gradual broadening of meaning, now covering both the act of throwing and the posture associated with carrying something. The informal usage indicating a relaxed manner emerged later, reflecting changes in language and social contexts over time.
