Etimologia (Anglès)

From Old Italian schermugio (“skirmish”) (both with diminutive ending?). Alternatively both Italian forms might be derived from Old French escarmuche. Related to the verb schermire (“to protect, shield; to fence, swordfight”), stemming from Lombardic skirmen or Frankish *skirmijan (“to protect, defend”).
Cognate with Old High German skirmen, scirmen (“to shield, defend, protect”), skirm (“shade, protection”). More at skirmish, escarmouche.
