Selected source glosses provide context, not a complete modern definition inventoryA slice, especially of bread. · A sheave. · A beam or plank of split wood. · A flat, wide cork for plugging a large hole or closing a wide-mouthed bottle.
A parallel form of sheave, from Middle English schyve, from Proto-West Germanic *skībā, from Proto-Germanic *skībǭ, presumably through an Old English *sċīfe (though it is not attested before the Middle English period). Cognate with German Scheibe, late Old Norse skífa (“slice”), brauðskífa (“slice of bread”) (whence Danish skive (“disc, slice”)), Dutch schijf (“disc, slice”).
