Etimologie (Engels)

Geërf van Latyn: scūtum

In summary

From Old Galician-Portuguese escudo (“shield”), from Latin scūtum (“shield”), from Proto-Indo-European *skei- (“to cut, split”), which is an extension of *sek- (“to cut”). The name of the currency comes from the heraldic shields on the coins.
