Not attested in Middle Persian, though related forms are Middle Persian(šklk/škarag/, “bird of prey”), (wškl/wiškar/, “hunting ground”).
Perhaps a loanword from Sogdian𐽁𐼸𐼰𐽀(škʾr, “to pursue, to drive”).[1] Both the Middle Persian and the Sogdian are from Proto-Iranian*skar-(“to pursue, to look for (cattle)”), which has no non-Iranian cognates.[1]
