Proto-Germanic
Etymology
Uncertain. Perhaps derived from *skehaną (“to move quickly”), from Proto-Indo-European *skek- (“to move quickly, jump”).[1] A derivation from an alleged Proto-Indo-European verb *skewk-, supposedly from *(s)kewH- (“to cover”) (compare Proto-Germanic *skiwô (“cloud cover; cloud; sky”)), proposed in older literature, is dubious and not mentioned in Kroonen.
