Where does ずっこけ come from? It doesn't have kanji, but it also isn't repetitive
like onomatopoeia-so does it just not use the kanji anymore, or does it have
strange roots?

Etymology of ずっこけ
Looks to be a combination of `ずる` (old form of `ずれる` - to slip/slide down) and
`転ける【こける】` (to fall down / fail).
