[ˈsɡ̊eːðə]
OprindelseFrom the Old Norse skeiðir (“sheath”), plural of skeið (“reed, sley”), from Proto-Germanic *skaiþiz. The old singular is continued by the Danish noun ske (“spoon”).
Cognate with German Scheide, Dutch schede, and English sheath. The anatomical sense is a semantic loan from Latin vāgīna.
