EtymologyEdit

From Old English Scottas (people from Ireland, Irishmen), from Late Latin Scotti. Possibly the meaning was "cut off, outcast", related to scoith (to cut off) and scoite (cut off), from scoth (point, edge (of weapon)), from Proto-Celtic *skutā, from Proto-Indo-European *skewt- (to cut).[1]

See Scoti.
