Unclear but most likely ultimately from Medieval Latin sclāvus (“slave”) possibly through English slave. The spelling 〈ea〉, which indicates a high-front vowel, and the /b/ are difficult to derive from sclāvus. Additionally, the word is only known from Cregeen's dictionary and not found in any other native sources.
