Etymologie (English)

Inherited from Mittelhochdeutsch: hōde

Inherited from Althochdeutsch: hōdo

Cognate with Old Frisian: hothan

Cognate with Walisisch: cwd

Cognate with Altgriechisch: σκῦτος

Cognate with Latein: cutis

Cognate with Old Lithuanian: kutỹs

In summary

From Middle High German hōde, from Old High German hōdo, from Proto-West Germanic *huþō. The vowel of the Old High German is usually reconstrued as long, but some modern dialects require original shortness, as does apparently Old Frisian hothan, the only Germanic cognate. Perhaps ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kewH- (“cover”) and then cognate with Welsh cwd (“scrotum”), Ancient Greek σκῦτος (skûtos, “hide, leather”), Latin cutis (“skin”), Old Lithuanian kutỹs (“bag”), German Haut, Scheune, Schote etc.
