Etimología (Inglés)

Heredado de inglés medio: shonen

Heredado de inglés antiguo: sċunian

Cognado con inglés antiguo: hȳdan

In summary

From Middle English schonen (“to decline to do, avoid, fear”), from Old English sċunian (“to shun, fear, avoid”), of uncertain origin, though probably ultimately connected to the Proto-Indo-European root *(s)kewH- (“to cover, conceal”) via Proto-Germanic [Term?]; see that entry for more discussion.
Compare hide, shy, and Sanskrit स्कुनाति (skunāti, “to cover”).
