| Reaney & Wilson and
Bardsley do not agree on the meaning of
the byname Slipper. However, they agree that Slipper is
metonymic with Swordslipper. Therefore, their difference in opinion
regarding the origin of Slipper also applies to Swordslipper. "A derivative of ME slipe 'to polish, sharpen', probably a sword-sharpener." (Reaney & Wilson, p. 414 s.n. Slipper) "Occup. 'a sheather,' one who made swordslips" (Bardsley, p. 738 s.n. Swordslipper) | |||||
