In summary

From Middle Dutch schute, from Old Dutch skūta. Cognate with Middle Low German schûte (“a type of boat or light ship”). Perhaps tied to Proto-Germanic *skeutaz (“quick”), thus making it related to Old Norse skúta (“a small craft or cutter”), Old Norse skjótr (“quick”), Old English sċēot (“quick, ready”), Dutch schieten (“to shoot”).
