Where this word comes from

From Middle High German scharte f, also schart f or m, from the adjective Old High German *scart (“wounded, cut up”, attested in liduscart), from Proto-Germanic *skardaz. Related with German scheren (“to shear”). Cognate with Middle Dutch schaert m, Middle Low German schārt n, Old English sceard n, Old Norse skarð n. All possibly from Proto-Germanic *skardą, although the deviating genders in Dutch and High German may suggest independent derivations from the adjective. See English sherd, shard for more.
