Where this word comes from
Uncertain. Per De Vaan, possibly a loanword; derivation from Latin scūtum (“shield”) is morphologically difficult, despite the resemblance in sense and form. If related, the common root could be Proto-Indo-European *skey- (“to cut, split”) or Proto-Indo-European *(s)kewH- (“to cover, protect”). If a loanword, Ancient Greek χύτρα (khútra, “earthen pot”) has been suggested as a candidate source.
