Schatte
Central Franconian edit
Alternative forms edit
Etymology edit
The expected outcome of Middle High German schade would be *šāt or *šāde. Schatte can only be derived from the variant schatwe, from earlier schatewe, *schadewe. Alternatively, it could be borrowed from German Schatten. This seems less likely, but might have occurred in order to avoid homophony with Schade (“damage”). In any case, eventually from Old High German scato, *scado.
