Where this word comes from

Two main etymologies are 1) end, leftovers, same as slatt, 2) from sladda (“to slide, to skid”), related to släde (“a sled, a sleigh”). However, some meanings are a mix of the two: Komma på sladden, sladdbarn, meaning a trailing bonus chance, can refer either to leftovers or to the trailing sled. Compare Low German sladde ("cloth"). Rope's end, the sailor's term, has been used since 1736, coming Low German. Clod crusher, the farming tool, has been used since 1695, also written slädd, from the verb sladda.
