Where this word comes from

From earlier slae, slaê, with the first syllable reduced from earlier salae, salaê, it in turn being a reduced form of salade with regular loss of intervocalic -d- (as happened in words such as slee, broer, and teer). The semantic distinction between both forms is secondary.
