Etymology
1. Inherited from Old Norse skutr (“bow or stern end of a vessel”), from Proto-Germanic *skutiz (“shooting, shot”), from the same root as *skeutaną (“to shoot”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kewd- (“to shoot, chase”).
2. Compare Norwegian Nynorsk skut and Icelandic skutur (“bow or stern end of a vessel”). See: Old Norse Nouns '
skutr', Old Norse Nouns '
