'slowly-chopped' originates from the combination of 'slowly' and 'chopped', where 'slowly' is derived from the Old English 'slāwlice', meaning 'in a slow manner', and 'chopped' is from the Old English 'ceopan', meaning 'to cut'.

'slowly' changed from the Old English 'slāwlice' and 'chopped' from 'ceopan', eventually forming the modern English compound adjective 'slowly-chopped'.

Initially, 'slowly' meant 'in a slow manner' and 'chopped' meant 'to cut', and together they describe the action of cutting slowly.
