German
Etymology
de gem-pro
First attested in the 17th century and hence hardly inherited within High German. Probably from de gml schörte, from de osx *skurtia, from de gmw-pro *skurtijā.
Adapted to the High German consonantism by conflation with related Late de gmh schurz (modern de Schurz), a nominalisation of the adjective gmh schurz short, from de goh schurz, from de gmw-pro *skurt, from de gem-pro *skurtaz. Cognate with en shirt and en short, respectively.
