Etymology
In summary
From Middle High German geschoz, Old High German giscoz, derivation of the equivalent of schießen (“to shoot”), i.e. "that which is shot (a projectile)". The "floor, story" sense follows a semantic development "to shoot" > "to shoot up, go up quickly in height" > "levels of height" > "floor, story".
