SCOTIA (Gr. o'Karca, shadow or darkness)

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 412 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SAR-SCY
SCOTIA (Gr. o'Karca, shadow or darkness) , in architecture, a concave moulding most commonly used in bases, which projects a deep shadow on itself, and is thereby a most effective moulding under the eye, as in a base. (See MOULDING.)
In the former
case
  the derivation seems to be from the O. Fr. Escoute, and that from the Latin ausculiare, but in the latter from the Dutch Koet, which is said to be of Celtic extractioncwtiar. The Fr. macreuse, possibly from Lat. mater, indicating a bird that may be eaten in Lent or on the fast days of the Roman
Church
 , is of
double
  signification, meaning in the
south
  of
France
  a coot and in the north a
scoter
 . By the wild-fowlers of parts of North America scoters are commonly called coots.
