In summary

From Middle High German schrecken, from Old High German skreckōn (“to jump”), from Proto-Germanic *skrikkōną; the ultimate origin is uncertain, possibly related to *skeraną (“to shear”) (thus "make sudden cutting movements" > "scare") or *skrīaną (“to scream”). Also compare Old Norse skaga (“to jut out”).
Cognate with Dutch schrikken (“to be startled”). Danish skrække and Swedish skräcka are borrowed from German. In Middle High German, the verb was reinterpreted as a causative, whereas the intransitive sense acquired a strong inflection, cf. erschrecken.
