Etymology

In summary

From Middle High German schütten, schüten (“to shake; to pour”), from Old High German scuttēn (“to shake”), from Proto-Germanic *skudjaną, perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kewt- (“to shake, jolt”). Cognate with Bavarian schittn, Hunsrik schidde, Dutch schudden (“to shake”); perhaps cognate with Lithuanian kutė́ti (“to shake up”) and Russian скитаться (skitatʹsja, “to wander, stray”).
