Sleazy
sleazy
- 1644, of unknown origin; one theory traces it somehow to Silesian "of the eastern German province of Silesia" (Ger. Schleisen), where fine linen or cotton fabric was made. Originally "hairy, fuzzy," then "flimsy, unsubstantial." Sense of "sordid" is from 1941; sleaze (n.) is a 1967 back-formation.
