Etimologie (Engels)

Geleen van Italiaans: scoglio

Verwante met Katalaans: escull

In summary

Borrowed from Italian scoglio, from Vulgar Latin *scoculum (possibly through a Gallo-Italic intermediate), from Latin scopulus, from Ancient Greek σκόπελος (skópelos, “lookout place: hence peak, headland, promontory”). Compare Catalan escull.
