Etymology

In summary

From Middle High German schedel (“skull”). Further origin uncertain. Borrowing from Middle Low German schêdel (“top of the head, head, skull”), cognate with German Scheitel (“top of the head, parting of the hair”), suggests itself, but is not embraced in most of the literature.
