In summary

From Middle High German schilt m (“shield”) (genitive schiltes or schildes), from Old High German skilt, from Proto-West Germanic *skeldu, from Proto-Germanic *skelduz (“shield”), from Proto-Indo-European *(s)keyt- (“shield, cover”). Cognate with Dutch schild, English shield, Danish skjold. The -ld- is due to sporadic revoicing, reinforced by unshifted forms in Central and Low German (cf. dulden, Geld etc.). The neuter gender spread southward from Middle Low German schilt. It established itself in general Standard German for the derived sense “sign”, but not for the traditional sense “shield”.
