Etymologie (Engels)

An originally Central and Low German word, from northern Middle High German schiuren and Middle Low German schǖren (both 14th c.). Further origin uncertain, but probably from Old French escurer (“to clean off”), from Late Latin excurare (literally “to treat thoroughly”), from Latin ex- + curare. If so, borrowed through Middle Dutch schuren (13th c., modern schuren), otherwise cognate with it. See English scour for more.
