Etymology

The word "slice" originates from the Old French "esclice" (a splinter or fragment), derived from the Frankish *slitjan (to split). The suffix "-ed" is a common English past participle marker, indicating a completed action. Together, "sliced" literally means "having been cut into pieces," retaining the core idea of division from its Germanic roots.
