Where this word comes from
An intensive formation from an obsolete skrata (“to scare away by making noise”), itself thought to be a dental extension and variant of a term harka (“to hawk, rasp”), of onomatopoeic origin. By surface analysis, skratt + -a. Attested since 1561, and cognate with Danish skratte (“to rattle, to make noise”).
