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]
