In summary

Inherited from Middle French escot, from Old French escot, escoz (“payment”), from Old Frankish *skot (“tax”, literally “that which is thrown in”), from Proto-Germanic *skutą (“that which is thrown, shot, projectile, bullet, missile”). Cognate with Old High German scoz (“bullet, missile, projectile, javelin, shot”), Old English scot, sceot (“shot, lot, payment”). More at scot.
