Wordle Answer for March 2, 2026

What slime means

A thick, wet, slippery substance that is usually unpleasant or sticky, such as the coating on a fish's skin or mucus secreted by snails and slugs.

Where the word comes from

Slime comes from Old English "slim," which likely descended from Proto-Germanic "slimaz," meaning slippery or slimy. This root eventually gave rise to related words across Germanic languages. The sense of a viscous, slimy substance developed naturally from the adjective's meaning, and the word has remained largely unchanged in form since Old English times.
