The answer
SLICE
What slice means
A thin, flat piece cut from something, or to cut something into such pieces with a knife or similar tool.
Where the word comes from
From Middle English "slice," borrowed from Old French "eslice," meaning a splinter or piece cut off. The Old French term likely derives from a Germanic source related to Old High German "slīhan" (to split or tear), connected to the Proto-Germanic root meaning to split or separate. The sense evolved from a piece broken off to a thin, flat portion cut from something.
