Etymology

From *շող (*šoł, slime, mucus) + -իք (-ikʿ). The root *շող (*šoł), of uncertain origin, is also found in dialectal շողուկ (šołuk), շողոտ (šołot), and is usually connected with շաղ (šał), շաղեմ (šałem), շաղախ (šałax).

Perhaps a Zan borrowing: compare the Laz and Mingrelian descendants of Proto-Georgian-Zan *s₁owl- (to wet, make wet).[1]
