"etymology_text": "Borrowing from Low German or Dutch slim (“bad, sly, clever”), from Middle Dutch slim (“bad, crooked”), from Old Dutch *slimb, from Proto-West Germanic *slimb, from Proto-Germanic *slimbaz (“oblique, crooked”). The sense development would have been \"slanting, cunning\" (Dutch) > \"insignificant, slight\" and then \"thin, graceful\" in English, a shift that Liberman calls an \"incredible amelioration\" of word meaning.\nThe pejorative sense found in Low German and Dutch is also found preserved in the archaic English noun slim (“worthless or lazy person”), also comparable to the South African use of the adjective as \"crafty, sly.\"\nCompare Dutch slim (“smart, clever, crafty”), Middle High German slimp (“slanting, awry”), German schlimm (“bad”), West Frisian slim (“bad, dire”).",

The sense development would have been \"slanting, cunning\" (Dutch) > \"insignificant, slight\" and then \"thin, graceful\" in English, a shift that Liberman calls an \"incredible amelioration\" of word meaning.\nThe pejorative sense found in Low German and Dutch is also found preserved in the archaic English noun slim (“worthless or lazy person”), also comparable to the South African use of the adjective as \"crafty, sly.\"\nCompare Dutch slim (“smart, clever, crafty”), Middle High German slimp (“slanting, awry”), German schlimm (“bad”), West Frisian slim (“bad, dire”).",
