12世纪晚期, slouthe,“懒惰,懒散,忽视责任”,由中古英语 slou, slowe(参见 slow(形容词))和抽象形式 -th(2)组成。
它取代了早期的 sleuthe,来自古英语 slæwþ,肯特郡 slewð,“懒惰,懒散”。现代形式也可能是旧词符合形容词中的元音。现代“缓慢,迟缓”的意义可追溯至14世纪中叶。作为七宗罪之一,它翻译拉丁语 accidia。约于1400年的 sloth-salve 是治疗懒惰的(比喻)药物。
这种缓慢移动的南美哺乳动物最初是在1610年被称为“sloth”,翻译自葡萄牙语 preguiça “缓慢,懒惰”,源自拉丁语 pigritia “懒惰”(比较西班牙语 perezosa “懒惰”,也是指“树懒”)。
