From Proto-West Germanic *skrīþan. Cognates Cognate with Old Saxon skrīthan, Middle Dutch schriden (Dutch schrijden), Old High German skrītan (German schreiten), Old Norse skríða (Swedish skrida). The Indo-European root also gave Latin crīsāre and Middle Irish crith (Breton skrija (“tremble with fear”)).
