Etymology[edit]

Uncertain. Possibly from a Slavic skutŭ, or from Vulgar Latin *scuticum, from Latin stucia (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 with Romanian scutec.

Noun[edit]

  1. diaper
