Etymology

1. Inherited from Old Norse skot (“shot; projectile; shoot”), with the modern form influenced by Danish skud (“shot”), from Old Danish skut and skot. The Old Norse word is from Proto-Germanic *skutą (“shot”), related to *skeutaną (“to shoot”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kewd- (“to shoot, chase”).
2. Compare Norwegian Nynorsk skot, Swedish skott, Danish skud, English shot and German Schuss (“shot”). See: Swedish Nouns 'skott', Danish Nouns 'skud', English Nouns 'shot', German Nouns 'Schuss'.
