Icelandic[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From the Old Norse skyr (“thick curdled milk”, literally “separated”), from skera (“to divide”). [1][2][3]
Related to the terms Danish skør (dialect), skørost (dialect), Norwegian Nynorsk skyr (“buttermilk, cultured milk”), skjør, skjørost, and many similar terms in Swedish dialects. The Latin term lac concretum (“thick milk”) is found in Tacitus' Germania. Possibly borrowed into English as English scurvy.
