[Etymology]
First attested in 1402 CE, with the meaning untidy woman; cognate with the Dutch slodder, dialectal Swedish slata (idle woman). From the Late Middle English slutte, from slut (mud); of uncertain origin beyond that. Cf. the Norwegian slutr (sleet, impure liquid).
[Noun]
slut (plural sluts)
1.(countable) (derogatory) a sexually promiscuous woman.
She's a slut, but I love her.

6.1600 CE: William Shakespeare, As you like it

11.1852 CE: Susanna Moodie, Roughing it in the Bush
‘Bete!’ returned the angry Frenchman, bestowing a savage kick on one of the unoffending pups which was frisking about his feet. The pup yelped; the slut barked and leaped furiously at the offender, and was only kept from biting him by Sam, who could scarcely hold her back for laughing; the captain was uproarious; the offended Frenchman alone maintained a severe and dignified aspect. The dogs were at length dismissed, and peace restored.
12.(countable) (archaic) a maid.
13.1664 CE: Samuel Pepys, The Diary of Samuel Pepys
