editEtymology
editPer Snoj, from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kewp-, akin to Proto-Germanic *skuftą (“bundle, hair”). At least partially of onomatopoeic origin, equivalent to e-grade of *kujati (“to caw, to crook”) + *-pъ. Similar to Proto-Slavic *čukъ (“knock”).
Probably, further related to Proto-Slavic *čubъ (“crest, forelock”) and Proto-Slavic *skuti (“to pluck (hair, weeds)”), the later akin to Lithuanian skùbti (“to hurry”), Proto-Germanic *skeubaną (“to shove”).
