Etymology

By the resolution of a geminate stop to a nasal plus a stop common in Semitic, but particularly Aramaic, from Akkadian 𒆲𒁯 (KUN.DAR /⁠šakkadirru, šakkatirru⁠/, skink, literally mongoose of the forest), originally applied to another relatable creature, but again listed separately as a type of lizard as well. The form ܣܩܝܢܩܘܣ (sqinqūs) is adapted to Ancient Greek σκίγκος (skínkos, skink).
