German
Etymology
From de gmh hōde, from de goh hōdo, from de gmw-pro *huþō. The vowel of the Old High German is usually reconstructed as long, but some modern dialects require original shortness, as does apparently ofs hothan, the only Germanic cognate. Perhaps ultimately from de ine-pro *(s)kewH- cover and then cognate with cy cwd scrotum, grc σκῦτος hide, leather, la cutis skin, olt kutỹs bag, de Haut, de Scheune, de Schote etc.
