slæbe

Danish

Etymology

From Old Danish slæbæ, sleffue, borrowed from Middle Low German slēpen, from Old Saxon *slēpian, from Proto-West Germanic *slaipijan.

Cognate with German släpa (“to drag, slight”) (whence Danish sløjfe (“to demolish”)). The Low German verb is also the source of Norwegian slepe, Swedish släpa, German schleppen, and Yiddish שלעפּן‎ (shlepn), whence English schlep.
