Etymology
1. From Proto-Germanic *skalmjaną, an umlauted derivation of *skalmaną (“epidemic, plague, death”), of uncertain origin, but possibly from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kelH- (“to split, part, divide”) or *(s)kelh₁- (“to parch, wither”).
2. Compare German Schelm (“rogue”) and Middle Low German schelm (“scoundrel, rogue”). See: German Nouns '
Schelm'.
