Etymology
Uncertain; despite the lack of secure Germanic cognates (though compare scunner, which may derive from an Old Norse *skuna), possibly derived from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kewH- (“to cover, hide”), as either a nasal-present *skunéHti identical to Sanskrit स्कुनाति (skunāti, “to cover”) or a later inner-Germanic formation, through either Proto-Germanic *skunjaną, Proto-West Germanic *skunnjan (if the variant sċynian shows that this verb was formerly a weak j-present) or *skunaną/*skunōną, *skunēn/*skunōn (if the variant sċynian exhibits a development /ʃu/ > /ʃy/ as potentially seen in Northumbrian Old English sćylun (“we must”)). See: Sanskrit '
स्कुनाति'.
