The word "slimier" is derived from the adjective "slimy", which originated from the Middle English word "slymȳ", dating back to the 14th century.

Both of these Old English and Old High German terms can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "*slīmaz". The word "slimier" is formed by adding the comparative suffix "-ier" to "slimy", indicating a higher degree of sliminess.
