>>200133118>The reconstructed autonym *Slověninъ is usually considered a derivation from slovo ("word"), originally denoting "people who speak (the same language)", meaning "people who understand one another", in contrast to the Slavic word denoting "German people", namely *němьcь, meaning "silent, mute people" (from Slavic *němъ "mute, mumbling"). The word slovo ("word") and the related slava ("glory, fame") and sluh ("hearing") originate from the Proto-Indo-European root *ḱlew- ("be spoken of, glory"), cognate with Ancient Greek κλέος (kléos "fame"), as in the name Pericles, Latin clueō ("be called"), and English loud>In Latin, there is no word slave it's - serv. It did not exist in Ancient Greece. There the "slave" was called δούλοσ (“dulos”).>According to linguists, the ancient Greek word σκλαβος comes from the verb σκυλεύειν (“skulewain”), meaning “to plunder,” or more precisely, “to remove the armor from a defeated enemy.” The etymology is completely transparent, since captured foreigners were enslaved in ancient times. It is very likely that the new word was actually needed to refer to the larger than usual flow of captured captives in the slave markets as a result of military conflicts caused by the Great Migration. But this word had a purely Greek etymology.>It should be borne in mind that not a single Byzantine author associated the name of the Slavs with the word “slave”.it's a meme, Mascarpone

>>200133118"Slav" is an endonym meaning "the glorious ones". But because "the glorious ones" were actually the main target of "slavers" (as always, they were also sold by their own kind) in the Europeans low Middle Ages, "Slave" became in Western Europe synonym of "human chattel", while "servus" was relegated to unfree men tied to a fiefdom : serfs.Very clear in Old French how "esclavon" (inhabitant of Slavonia) drifted to "esclave" (slave)
>>200133819>>200133853>Another theory is that sclavus came from Byzantine Greek σκυλάειν. The Greek word means to steal from an enemy that was killed in war.
