Etymology
1. From Old Swedish skata, from Old Norse skata, derivative of Old Norse skade (“top, cliff, tree top”; compare Swedish: skate, skati, “tip, top, tree top”), probably more directly “shoot” (cf. Swedish utskott (“protuberance”)), referencing their long tails. The word is possibly related to Old Norse skot, skut (“shoot”), or to skaði (“damage”). Direct cognates includes Old Danish skathæ, Danish skade, Norwegian Nynorsk skata.
2. The Old Norse word, skata, also gave name to the animal skate (Rajidae), referencing their long tails: Icelandic skata, Norwegian skate, English skate. See: Old Norse Nouns '
skata', Danish Nouns '
skade', Icelandic Nouns '
