Etimologie (Engels)

Geërf van Middle High German: schiter

Verwante met Antieke Grieks: σκιδαρός

In summary

With sporadic rounding after sch from Middle High German schiter, from Old High German skitir, sketar, with regular preservation of t before r from Proto-Germanic *skit(a)raz. Cognate with Ancient Greek σκιδαρός (skidarós, “thin, fine, weak”). The word was widely obsolete in standard German until the 19th century, when it was revived on the basis of Upper German dialects.
