Definition of slosh

sloshverb

sự va đập

/slɒʃ//slɑːʃ/

The origin of the word "slosh" can be traced back to the early 19th century when it was used to describe the sound and movement of liquids in a container that was being carried or transported. Specifically, it referred to the splashing and knocking noise that occurred as the liquid shifted and moved due to the motion of the container. The word is an onomatopoeic term, which means it originated from the sound it describes. The exact origin of the word "slosh" is unclear, as it seems to have developed independently in different regions, with some theories suggesting it could be derived from the Scots word "slouse," meaning to move heavily or something that moves heavily, or from the Old Norse word "slaugga," meaning to flood or shower. Regardless of its origins, the word "slosh" has become a common part of English vocabulary, particularly to describe the sounds and movements of liquids in containers, such as when carrying a partially full glass of water or a container of liquid in a vehicle.
