Etymology
1. Inherited from Old Norse skotr (“Scot”). The Old Norse word has been compared with Old or Middle Irish scott (“Irishman”) and may be an early borrowing from it, though the connection is uncertain. The wider ethnonym is also represented by Late Latin Scotus (“Irishman, Gael”); its ultimate origin is unknown.
