Etymology
From de gmh schilt m shield (genitive gmh schiltes or gmh schildes), from de goh skilt, from de gmw-pro *skeldu, from de gem-pro *skelduz shield, from de ine-pro *(s)keyt- shield, cover. Cognate with nl schild, en shield, da skjold.
The -ld- is due to sporadic revoicing, reinforced by unshifted forms in Central and Low German (cf. de dulden, de Geld etc.). The neuter gender spread southward from de gml schilt. It established itself in general Standard German for the derived sense “sign”, but not for the traditional sense “shield”.
