Etimologia (Inglese)

Ereditato da inglese medio: shryne

Ereditato da inglese antico: scrīn

Affine norse antico: skrín

Affine tedesco antico alto: skrīni

Affine tedesco: Schrein

In summary

From Middle English shryne, from Old English scrīn (“reliquary, ark of the covenant”), from Medieval Latin scrīnium (“reliquary”), “case or chest for books or papers” in Classical Latin. Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *(s)ker- (“to turn, bend”). Compare Old Norse skrín, Old High German skrīni (German Schrein).
