Etymology

From Proto-West Germanic *skehan (“to move quickly, run”). Akin to Old Frisian schīa (“to go quickly”), Old High German giskehan (“to happen”). More at chic.

Unknown. Compare Gothic (skēwjan, “to go, proceed, go forth”), from Proto-Germanic *skēwijaną (“to walk, go”), which is probably related to Etymology 1 above.
