The word slough (in British English pronounced /ˈslaʊ/, to rhyme with "cow"; in American and Canadian English pronounced /ˈsluː/, "slew") has several meanings related to wetland or aquatic features.

The etymology is related to the Dutch word 'slechten' = to lower, to cut, to destroy. Also related to 'to slay'. In Irish, Gaelic sloc = a pit, pool. Also related to (German) schlucken, (Swed.) sluka, (Dutch) slikken = to swallow. Related to 'slime'.
