Holy hell, now the grammatical structure of words is cause of nazis!
Also the stupid fucking troon is just wrong, as troons usually are.
slave, n.1 (and a.)
(sleɪv)
Forms: α. 4–6 sclaue, 5 sclave, 6 sklaw, sklaue, sklave, Sc. sclayff. β. 6 Sc. slawe, slaif, 6–7 slaue, 6– slave.
[ad. OF. esclave (also mod.F.), sometimes fem. corresponding to the masc. esclaf, esclas (pl. esclaz, esclauz, esclos, etc.), = Prov. esclau masc., esclava fem., Sp. esclavo, -va, Pg. escravo, -va, It. schiavo, -va, med.L. sclavus, sclava, identical with the racial name Sclavus (see Slav), the Slavonic population in parts of central Europe having been reduced to a servile condition by conquest; the transferred sense is clearly evidenced in documents of the 9th century.
The form with initial scl- is also represented by older G. schlav(e, sclav(e, G. sklave. In English the reduction of scl- to sl- is normal, and the other Teut. languages show corresponding forms, as WFris. slaef, NFris. slaaw, MDu. slave, slaef (Du. slaaf), MLG. and LG. slave (hence Da. and Norw. slave), older G. slaf(e, Sw. slaf).
The history of the words representing slave and Slav in late Gr., med.L., and G., is very fully traced in Grimm's Deutsches Wörterbuch s.v. Sklave.]

The connection of "slave" and "Slav" and the origin of both words are very well known and exhaustively documented.
