1650年代,“瘦的,细的,纤细的”,通常带有优美的暗示,源自荷兰语 slim “坏的,狡猾的,聪明的”,源自中古荷兰语 slim “倾斜的,弯曲的; 坏的,错误的”,源自原始日耳曼语 *slembaz “倾斜的,弯曲的”(源头还包括中古高德语 slimp “倾斜的,歪的”,德语 schlimm “坏的,狡猾的,不舒服的”),其起源不详。意大利语 sghembo “弯曲的,倾斜的,歪的”源自日耳曼语。
在中古英语中没有发现。日耳曼语的意义演变似乎是“倾斜的”到“轻微的,微不足道的”,然后是“优美的纤细的”。另一条路是“倾斜的”到“弯曲的”到“坏的,生病的,错误的”。
关于机会等,“瘦弱的,小的”从1670年代开始。1813年,指“轻微的,脆弱的,不实在的”,指织物。在17世纪的英语中,有时也指“狡猾的,狡诈的,狡猾的”人。相关: Slimly; slimness。
带有过时的扩展形容词形式 slimsy “脆弱的,不实在的”(1845年,美国英语,指织物等); slimikin “小而纤细的”(1745年)。Slim Jim自1887年以来被用来表示“非常瘦的人”; 从1902年开始用作一种细长的雪茄; 从1975年开始用作一种肉类小吃品牌。 Slim volume“由鲜为人知或有抱负的诗人写的诗集”始于1920年。
