Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition

מָלַט not used in Kal, pr. to be smooth [“to make smooth”], hence to slip away, to escape, i.q. the kindred פָּלַט. (Of the same family are the roots cited under מָלַח No. I. The third radical is a dental or a sibilant in מָלַץ, Arabic ملد II. to soften, ملث to smooth, to flatter, ملس to be soft, smooth, ملز to escape, to slip away, Gr. μέλδω to soften, μαλάσσω, μειλίσσω, although in these the root has γ, [comp. ἀμέλγω, μαλακός, mulgeo, mulceo]; Germ. mild, etc. With the letter l hardened is formed מָרַט, which see.)

(2) to go away in haste without the notion of flight, 1 Samuel 20:29.

Hithpael, i.q. Niph. Job 19:20, נָאֶתְמַלְּטָה בְּעוֹר שִׁנָּי “I have (hardly) escaped with the skin of my teeth,” proverb. for, there hardly remains anything sound in my body.
