Where this word comes from

Of uncertain origin. De Vaan tentatively derives the word from Proto-Italic *skeyp-, from a Proto-Indo-European *sḱeyp-o-, and connects the word to cippus (“stake, post”) and Sanskrit शेप (śépa, “penis”). Others derive the word from Proto-Indo-European *skap-, and connect the word to scāpus, scōpa, scopiō, Ancient Greek σκήπτω (skḗptō), English shaft (in addition to cippus, though not शेप (śépa)).
