The word "slue" likely originated as a variant of "slew," which itself derives from Middle English "slēn," meaning "to turn or twist." Its exact roots are unclear, but it may be connected to Old Norse "snúa" (to turn) or Proto-Germanic "*snewaną." The word retains its core sense of abrupt or forceful rotation, often used in nautical or mechanical contexts.
