Etymology
1. Originally the iterative-causative form of an unattested verb skast “to jump” (cf. Lithuanian skàsti “to tackle eagerly, to move around, to stir up, to liven up”, archaic “to jump”, and Lithuanian dialectal skati̇́nti “to urge”), from Proto-Baltic *sket-, *skat-, from Proto-Indo-European *skel- (maybe *skēl-) “to jump, to swirl.”
2. The semantic evolution was probably: “to jump around” > “to be active, alert” > “to pay attention, to observe” > “to watch, to see.” Cognates include Lithuanian skãtytis, skatýtis (“to look around; to look for”), Latin scateō (“to bubble, to flow forth, to gush; to be plentiful, to abound”), Slovak šetriť (“to save, to spare”) and Czech šetřit (“to save, to preserve”). See: Latin '
scateō', Slovak '
šetriť', Czech '
šetřit'.
