Usually movement speed debuffs, WoW included, are referred to as snares. "Slow" also referred to attack speed debuffs in WoW, although this also had this exact same confusion in the playerbase. I'm not really sure if this has been relevant since Torment the Weak was removed. I think that was the only thing in the game that I ever saw say "slow or snared."
