SLAVERED Meaning and Definition

  1. Slavered is a verb that refers to the act of producing an excessive flow of saliva or drool, often as a result of intense excitement, desire, or anticipation. It can also mean to speak in a manner that is marked by excessive drooling or slobbering.

    When someone slavers, their mouth may become excessively wet, causing saliva to drip down their chin or pool in their mouth. This physiological response is typically associated with feelings of intense pleasure, often triggered by food, especially appetizing and mouth-watering dishes. In these instances, slavering can be seen as an indicator of great enthusiasm or eagerness.

    In a figurative sense, slavered can also describe someone speaking in a manner that is characterized by excessive praise, flattery, or exaggerated enthusiasm. This usage suggests that the individual is being overly obsequious or servile, employing extravagant language to impress or gain favor.

    The term slavered can be used to describe both involuntary biological reactions, as well as deliberate actions aimed at creating a particular effect. It captures the physical manifestation of overflowing saliva, as well as the figurative notion of excessive and often insincere speech.

Common Misspellings for SLAVERED

Etymology of SLAVERED

The word "slavered" is derived from the verb "slaver".

The verb "slaver" entered English during the late 14th century and originally meant "to let saliva drip or flow from the mouth". It came from the Old French word "esclavare", which meant "to slobber" or "to drool".

Interestingly, the Old French term "esclavare" was derived from the Latin word "slavus", meaning "Slavic". This connection stems from the historical association of Slavic peoples with the practice of servitude and bondage, with the word "slavus" originally being used to describe a slave. Over time, the meaning of "slaver" shifted to refer to any excessive or messy flow of saliva, rather than being specifically tied to slavery or the Slavic people.
