Etymology
1. Inherited from Old English sċēotan, from Proto-West Germanic *skeutan, from Proto-Germanic *skeutaną. Reinforced by Old English sċotian, from Proto-West Germanic *skotōn, from, Proto-Germanic *skutōną; compare schot.
2. As with chesen, the form with /eː/ regularly reflects Old English /e͜oː/, while that with /oː/ (the source of modern shoot) reflects a dissimilatory shift of stress to that diphthong's second element after a palatalised consonant. See: Proto-Germanic '
*skeutaną', Proto-Germanic '
*skutōną'.
