Étymologie (Anglais)

Hérité de moyen haut-allemand: geschoz

Hérité de ancien haut allemand: giscoz

In summary

From Middle High German geschoz, Old High German giscoz, derivation of the equivalent of schießen (“to shoot”), i.e. "that which is shot (a projectile)". The "floor, story" sense follows a semantic development "to shoot" > "to shoot up, go up quickly in height" > "levels of height" > "floor, story".
