Origin

Old English slacian 'become less eager', also 'slacken', from the adjective slæc 'slack'; compare with Dutch slaken 'diminish, relax'.

Slake and slack (Old English) share a Germanic root, slake originally meaning ‘to become less eager’ in general, before it was restricted to words such as thirst. Slack originally meant ‘lazy, unhurried’. Both words are more distantly related to Latin laxus ‘loose’, see languish
