Latin[edit]

Etymology[edit]

Uncertain.[1] Possibly from Proto-Indo-European *(s)krewp-, extended from *(s)ker- (“to cut”) (whence curtus, etc.). Or, from *skroypos, from a different extension *skreyp-. In either case, a relationship with scrūta is possible, but semantically distant.

  1. A rough or sharp stone.
