Etimología (Inglés)

Heredado de inglés medio: schaft

Heredado de inglés antiguo: sċeaft

Cognado con neerlandés: schacht

Cognado con alemán: Schaft

Cognado con sueco: skaft

In summary

From Middle English schaft, from Old English sċeaft, from Proto-West Germanic *skaft, from Proto-Germanic *skaftaz. Cognate with Dutch schacht, German German Schaft, Swedish skaft.
In Early Modern English, shaft referred to the entire body of a long weapon, such that an arrow's “shaft” was composed of its tip, stale, and fletching. Over time, the word came to be used in place of the former stale and lost its original meaning.
