From the noun слух (slux, hearing), from Proto-Slavic *sluxъ (hearing), originally meaning “what is spoken, what can be heard, rumour”, from *slūti (to be named, to talk over, to follow news), influenced by forms such as *směxъ (laughter), from *směj- (to laugh), *smě- (to laugh) and *spěxъ (hurry), from *spěti (to hurry).

Compare Russian слух (slux, hearing, rumour, news), Russian слушать (slušatʹ, to listen, to attend), Belarusian слу́хаць (slúxacʹ), Old East Slavic слоухъ (sluxŭ), слоушати (slušati), Old Church Slavonic слоухъ (sluxŭ), слоушати (slušati).
