Etymology
From (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Balto-Slavic *skeitum, *skoitum, from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Proto-Indo-European *skey-to-m, from *skey- (“to cut, separate”).
Baltic cognates include Lithuanian skiẽtas (“reed”), Latvian šk̨iêts (“reed”), Old Prussian staytan (“shield”).
Indo-European cognates include Latin scūtum (“shield”) from *skoytom; and Old Irish scíath (“shield”), Welsh ysgwyd (“shield”), Breton skoed (Old Breton skoit), all from Proto-Celtic *skētos, from *skeytos.
Comparison with Proto-Germanic *skelduz (“shield”) is doubtful.
