skaudėti

Cognate with Latvian skaudet (“to envy, be spiteful”),^[1] as well as possibly Russian скудáть (skudátʹ, “to be sick, ill”),^[2] of unclear further origin.^[3] Fraenkel connects the word to the uncommon skùsti (“to start to hurt; to become nervous, tired”) (as opposed to the more-common and etymologically different "shave" sense),^[1] which he connects to Ancient Greek σκῠδμαίνω (skudmaínō, “to be angry, grumble”);^[4] this is rejected by Beekes. Note also phonetic and semantic similarities to Ancient Greek ἀσκηθής (askēthḗs, “unhurt, undamaged”), Proto-Germanic *skaþô (“damage, scathe”), which come from Proto-Indo-European *(s)keh₁t- (“damage, harm”).
