Where this word comes from
From Middle High German geslechte, from Old High German gislahti, a collective formation from slahta, from Proto-Germanic *slahtō, related to *slahaną (“to strike, hit”). Cognate with Dutch geslacht, Middle Low German geslechte, Italian schiatta, Polish szlachta. The Germanic root is that of Schlag, schlagen (“strike, beat”). The modern sense developed among this root's descendants first in Menschenschlag (“group of people characterised by common traits”), in which the underlying meaning of Schlag is "strike of coinage".
