The immediate ancestor of our word is the compound sleuthhound, a dog, such as a bloodhound, used for tracking or pursuing. This term took on a figurative sense, tracker, pursuer, which is closely related to the sense detective. From sleuthhound came the shortened form sleuth, recorded in the sense detective as early as 1872. The first part of the term sleuthhound means track, path, trail, and is first recorded in a Middle English work written probably around 1200. The Middle English word, which had the form sloth, with eu representing the Scots development of the Middle English (), was a borrowing of the Old Norse word sldh, a track or trail.
