Etimologie (Engels)

Geërf van Middle English: scateren

Geërf van Old English: *sceaterian

Verwante met Middle Dutch: scheteren

Verwante met Nederduits: schateren

Verwante met Nederlands: schateren

Verwante met Antieke Grieks: σκεδάννυμι

Verwante met Tokharian B: kät-

In summary

From Middle English scateren, skateren, (also schateren, see shatter), from Old English *sceaterian, probably from a dialect of Old Norse. Possibly related to Proto-Indo-European *skey- (“to cut, split, shatter”). Compare Middle Dutch scheteren (“to scatter”), Low German schateren, Dutch schateren (“to burst out laughing”); and is apparently remotely akin to Ancient Greek σκεδάννυμι (skedánnumi, “scatter, disperse”). and Tocharian B kät- (“to scatter, sow seeds”). Doublet of shatter.
