SCUTTLE

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 519 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SAR-SCY
SCUTTLE , a
term
  formerly applied to a broad
flat
  dish or
platter; it represents the 0. Eng. scutel, cognate with Ger. Schussel, dish, derived from Lat. scutella, a square
salver
  or
tray
 , dim. of scutra, a platter, probably allied to scutum, the large oblong shield, as distinguished from the clypeus, the small
round
  shield. The name survives in the
coal
 -scuttle, styled " purdonium " in
English
  auctioneers' catalogues, which now assumes various forms. " Scuttle " in this sense must be distinguished from the word meaning a small opening in the deck or side of a ship, either forming a hatchway or cut through the covering of the hatchway; from which to "scuttle " a ship means to cut a hole in the bottom so that she sinks. This word is an
adaptation
  of O. Fr. escoutille, mod. ecoutille, from Span. escotilla, dim. of escoti, a sloping cut in a garment about the neck. The Spanish word is cognate with Du. school, Ger. Schoss, lap, bosom, properly the flap or projecting edge of a garment about the neck, 0. Eng. sceat, whence "
sheet
 ." The colloquial " scuttle," in the sense of hurrying away, is another form of " scuddle," frequentative of " scud," to run, which, like its variant " scoot," is another form of " shoot."
