Where this word comes from
De Vaan follows the LIV in tentatively reconstructing Proto-Italic *skijō, from Proto-Indo-European *skey- (“to distinguish, dissect”), in which case related to secō (“to cut off”), signum (“a sign”), Ancient Greek σχίζω (skhízō, “to split”) and English shit. He additionally notes the bare verb may be a backformation from negative nesciō, which proposed semantic development is not unusual.
