Origin

From Middle English *slammen (not recorded), apparently from a Scandinavian source ultimat

From Middle English *slammen (not recorded), apparently from a Scandinavian source ultimately from Old Norse slæma, slœma (“to slam, swing a weapon, strike an object out of reach”), related to Old Norse slamra, slambra (“to slam”). Cognate with Norwegian Bokmål slamre (“to slam”), Swedish slamra (“to pound, beat, make a clatter, rattle”), Norwegian Nynorsk slamra (“to sway, dangle”).

Unknown and long-speculated, though perhaps at least reinforced by Etymology 1. Doublet of chelem.
