From Middle High German slinden, verslinden, from Old High German slintan, farslintan, ultimately from Proto-West Germanic *fraslindan (“to devour”).

Several dialects of Central German exhibit a regular development -nd- → -ng-, whereby the verb was merged with schlingen (etymology 1). This dialectal form asserted itself in modern standard German, the original consonantism being preserved in the noun Schlund. Cognate with Dutch slinden.
