Proto-Germanic
Etymology
Traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kewd- (“to advance, propel”), and compared with Albanian hedh (“to throw”).[1] However, Kroonen prefers to take the word as a back-formation from the iterative verb *skuttōną (“to shoot”)[2] (whence Old Norse skotra (“to shove, push”), Icelandic skota (“idem”)), which he derives from a Proto-Indo-European *sket- (“to drive forward”), and connects with Lithuanian skàsti (“to jump, hop”), Latin scatō (“to gush forth, swarm”).[3]
