Where this word comes from

From esculca (“observation, inquiry”), from local High Middle Ages Medieval Latin sculca (“watchtower”), often derived from a Proto-Germanic *skulkan and connected to English skulk (“to hide”) and Norwegian Nynorsk skulke (“to play truant”), though this is disputed by Rance. Cognate with Asturian esclucar (“to spy, sneak”).
