Where this word comes from
Inherited from Old Norse skíða f (“piece of split wood, billet, stick”), probably a feminine variant of skíð n (“piece of wood, billet, board; ski”), from Proto-Germanic *skīdą n (“piece of wood, billet, board”), ultimately from *skey- (“to split”). Compare Norwegian Nynorsk skie, Icelandic skíða (“thin board”), Swedish skida (“ski”), English shide (“split piece of wood”) and German Scheit (“log, billet”).
