The English word 'slave' is widely believed to come from the word 'slav' because Slavs were common victims of the slave trade during the European Dark Ages and even well into the early modern period

A number of Slavic words for "German" (Russian немецкий, Bosnian njemački, Polish niemiecki, etc.) comes from the Slavic nemets meaning "foreigner", which ultimately derives from the Proto-Slavic adjective němъ, meaning "mute".

Basically, some Slavs met some Germanic folks and went "these foreign fuckers can't talk".
