Etymology

Possibly from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kewd- (‘to throw, shoot, pursue, rush’), whence *skeutaną (‘to shoot’); cognate with Proto-Slavic *kỳdati (‘to fling’), Sanskrit चोदति (codati) (códati, ‘to impel’). The semantic development would be “to shoot out” > “to jut out” > “projection, edge”.
