Etymology

From Old Norse smali (“livestock”). In the sense “herdsman” (attested since the 17th century[1][2]) the word is a shortening of smalamaður (“herdsman”), which is derived from this word in the sense “livestock”. The sense “assembler” is derived from the “herdsman” sense, being a poetic translation of English assembler. Ultimately derived from the adjective smalr (“small”), from Proto-Germanic *smalaz, referring originally to smaller livestock, such as sheep and goats. Compare German Schmalvieh (“small livestock”).[3]
