Explanation 1: a slovenmaker (profession, literally 'creating sloven') was someone creating iron rings and strengthened beams

Explanation 2: someone who performs hard labour

Medieval, sloven (13-15th century), meant 'to slide over', 'to cover' => a "slove" (multiple: sloven) was an iron ring that was shoved over a wooden beam, shaft, or rod to strengthen it. Compare: English word, sleeve, (medieval Dutch: sliefe)

Later on (17th century) sloven had a changed meaning: to perform hard labour, to toil, to moil. Possibly it got the meaning from "sloouen de mouwen" = "to roll up the sleeves", suggesting hard labour
