Etimologia (Inglese)

Possibly from Proto-Italic *skoitom (“shield”), from Proto-Indo-European *skoy-tó-m (“piece of wood, sheath, shield”), from *skey- (“to cut, split”); cognate with Old Irish scíath (“shield”), Russian щит (ščit, “shield”). Alternative theories derive the term from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kewH- (“to cover, protect”) via *(s)kuH-tó-m. It is unclear whether it is related to scutra (“platter, tray”).
