Etimologija (Anglų k.)

From Old Italian schermugio (“skirmish”) (both with diminutive ending?). Alternatively both Italian forms might be derived from Old French escarmuche. Related to the verb schermire (“to protect, shield; to fence, swordfight”), stemming from Lombardic skirmen or Frankish *skirmijan (“to protect, defend”). Cognate with Old High German skirmen, scirmen (“to shield, defend, protect”), skirm (“shade, protection”). More at skirmish, escarmouche.
