Meaning & usage
a Scot; a person from Scotland
Where this word comes from
Inherited from Old Norse skotr (“Scot”). The Old Norse word has been compared with Old or Middle Irish scott (“Irishman”) and may be an early borrowing from it, though the connection is uncertain. The wider ethnonym is also represented by Late Latin Scotus (“Irishman, Gael”); its ultimate origin is unknown. Compare Norwegian Nynorsk skotte, Danish skotte, Swedish skotte, Icelandic Skoti and Faroese skoti (“Scot”).
to glance, especially quickly, sideways, or furtively
Hun skottet til siden.
Where this word comes from
Possibly from skue (“to look, behold”), which is inherited from Old Norse skoða (“to look at, examine”), from Proto-Germanic *skuþōną (“to view”), related to *skawwōną (“to look”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kewh₁- (“to perceive”). Compare Norwegian Nynorsk skotte and Danish skotte (“to glance”).
