Étymologie (Anglais)

In summary

From Middle High German schrepfen, schreffen, from Old High German *skrepfan, from Proto-West Germanic *skrappjan (“to scrape, scratch”). Belongs to the strong verb *skrepan (Middle High German schrëffen, Old English screpan), of which it is an intensive, as is the stem variant *skrapōn, whence Middle High German schraffen and (via Middle Low German) modern schrap(p)en (“to scrape”). The various forms have influenced each other to a great extent. The ⟨ö⟩ is due to sporadic rounding of Middle High German /e/ in the vicinity of /ʃ/, /l/, and/or labials (cf. zwölf etc.).
