Etymology 1

edit

Perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *ksew-, with metathesis;[1] in this case, cognate with Ancient Greek ξύω (xúō, to shave), Latin saucius (hurt, wounded) and Sanskrit क्षुर (kṣurá, razor). Alternatively, from a Proto-Indo-European *skewt- (to cut);[2] compare Irish scaitheamh (a spell (indefinite period of time)).
