Etymology
Inherited from Proto-Slavic *slověnьskъ. Originally this word was simply the Ikavian variant of slòvēnskī, slòvjēnskī, but it was later borrowed into the other dialects and developed narrower meanings, analogously to the development of Slovene slovénski and Slovak slovenský from “Slavic” to “Slovene”, “Slovak”.
