Étymologie (Anglais)

In summary

From Middle High German schir (“immediate, quick”) (adv. schire), Old High German skeri (“sharp, acute, quick, rapid”), likely cognate with Old Church Slavonic скоръ (skorŭ, “rapid”) (Russian ско́рый (skóryj)), Lithuanian skėrỹs (“grasshopper”), Ancient Greek σκαίρειν (skaírein, “to jump”); if so, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kerd- (“to move, sway, swing, jump”). Grimm assumes partial conflation with scheir (“pure, bright”) (English sheer).
