Romanian[edit]

Etymology[edit]

Unknown. Possibly from Slavic *skutъ, or from Vulgar Latin *scuticum, from Latin scutica (a leather lash, whip), probably confused with derivatives of cutis (leather) (compare cutica). Therefore, the meaning could have changed from a leather belt to that of fabric or cloth in general. Cognate to Aromanian scutic.

Pronunciation[edit]

  • IPA(key): /ˈsku.tek/
  • (file)

Noun[edit]

scutec n (plural scutece)
