Here is one definition of Slander. :eek:
SLANDER, a false tale or report, defamation. The word is a doublet of scandal and comes through the 0. Fr. esciandre, which, through the earlier forms scandele, e~candele, escandre, is derived from Lat. scandalum (see further SCANDAL). In law, slander is the malicious defamation of a petsonin his reputation, profession or business, by words (see LIBEL AND SLANDER).
