slither (SLITH-er) - v., to move or slide continuously over a surface, esp. by undulating the body.
English's other frequentive ending is -er. This is the frequentive of slide, or rather Old English's frequentive of slīdan, with a consonant shift that showed up in the 1100s, though the forms sliddren & slider were also still used for a while.
