Etimologia (Inglese)

Preso in prestito da greco antico: σκελετός

In summary

Learned borrowing from Ancient Greek σκελετός (skeletós, “dried up, withered, dried body, parched, mummy”), from σκελλώ (skellṓ, “to dry, to dry up, to make dry, to parch”), from Proto-Indo-European *skele- (“to parch, to wither”).
