In summary

From (late and northern) Middle High German schal (“tasteless, turbid”), borrowed from Middle Low German schal, from Proto-Germanic *skal-, derived from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kelh₁- (“to dry out”). Compare Swedish skäll (“thin, weak, bleak”), Old English sċeald (“shallow, flat”), whence modern English shallow and shoal.
