History
From Middle Low German schôde, from Old Saxon *skōda, from Proto-West Germanic *skaudā, from Proto-Germanic *skaudō (“sheath, husk”), from Proto-Indo-European *skewdh- (“to cover, surround, enwrap”). Cognate with Middle Dutch schode (“pod, shell, husk”), German Schote (“pod, hull”), Icelandic skauð (“a horse's sheath”).
