Where this word comes from
From Middle High German geschīde (“sensible, sly”), derived from schīden. Related to scheiden (“to separate, distinguish”). Based on the notion of “prudent, circumspect” it was associated with scheuen (“to shun, shy away”) and therefore frequently spelt gescheut. The -t thence and through generalisation of final devoicing. Cognate with Vilamovian gysiajt, Bavarian gscheid, and Swabian gscheid.
