Etimologia (Inglese)

Affine islandese: skimpa

Affine svedese: skimpa

Affine faroese: skumpa

Affine tedesco: schimpfen

Affine olandese: schimpen

In summary

Perhaps of North Germanic origin, ultimately from Proto-Germanic *skimpijaną (“to skip, dance, gesture, mock”). Cognate with Icelandic skimpa (“to scoff at, scorn”), dialectal Swedish skimpa (“to skip, dance”), Faroese skumpa (“to shove, bump”), German schimpfen (“to grumble, scold”), Dutch schimpen (“to mock, make fun of, scold”). Possibly distantly related to change.
