Etymology 1

This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “From Proto-Indo-European *(s)kelh₁- (to dry up, wither)? Derivatives from this root like Ancient Greek σκέλλω (skéllō) have secondary meanings like "languish", which could be connected to "loose, soft". That said, dried-up objects tend to be crunchy and not soft, though they can be soft and limp at times depending on the material. Alternatively, semantic extension of Etymology 4?”
