Etymology
1. From Old Norse skip (“ship”), from Proto-Germanic *skipą. Cognate with English ship and German Schiff.
2. The meaning "nave" is influenced by German Schiff, which is a loan translation of Medieval Latin navis (“ship, nave”). It has arisen through a confusion of two Greek words: ναῦς (naûs, “ship”) and ναός (naós, “temple, nave”) See: Old Norse Nouns '
skip', English Nouns '
ship', German Nouns '
Schiff', German Nouns '
Schiff'.
