Origin: A word inherited from Germanic.
Etymology: Cognate with Old Frisian mannslachta , monnslachta (West Frisian manslach ), Middle Dutch manslacht (Dutch manslacht ), Old Saxon manslahta , Old High German manslahta , manslaht (Middle High German manslaht , German Mannschlacht ) < the Germanic base of man n.1 + the Germanic base of slaught n.The α. forms (very common in Old English) show i-mutation, either by regular development of an i-stem form (unlike the West Germanic cognates, but compare sleight n.2) or by analogy with i-mutated sleight n.2 The unmutated β. forms become common only in Middle English, perhaps under the influence of early Scandinavian (compare Old Icelandic sláttr smiting, mowing: see slaught n.) and of slay v.1 In the language of the Caligula manuscript of Laȝamon's Brut, in which both mutated and unmutated forms of slaught are found, ambiguous use of the graphs <æ>, <e>, and <ea> makes it impossible to ascertain whether forms such as mon-slæht (quot. c1275 at sense 1α. in the β quots.) represent i-mutated forms ( < Old English (Anglian) mansleht ) or unmutated smoothed forms ( < Old English (Anglian) manslæht ). The form mansleaht (quot. c1300 at sense 1β. in the β quots.) in the Otho manuscript of Laȝamon's Brut appears to represent an unmutated unsmoothed form. In sense 2 perhaps influenced by manslaghe n.
Obsolete.
