Etymology of SHLEP
The word "shlep" comes from Yiddish, a language historically spoken by Ashkenazi Jews. In Yiddish, the word is spelled "שלעפּ" (shlepn) and is derived from the Middle High German word "sleppen", meaning "to drag" or "to haul". This word eventually made its way into English, particularly in Jewish communities, to refer to carrying or lugging something with difficulty or effort. Today, it is commonly used in English to describe the act of schlepping or transporting something or someone in a laborious or burdensome manner.
