slide
Glide across smoothly
Slide is about smooth movement on a surface with little friction, the way a car slides on ice or a baseball runner slides into a base.
By extension, to slide is to move easily through something, to move without others noticing, or to become gradually worse.
If you let something slide, you ignore its worsening condition.
A slide is an instance of sliding.
It is also a piece of playground equipment on which children can slide.
