Oriental words were usually borrowed into Middle High German through Italian or Old French. Therefore the final /x/ is remarkable, because this sound was replaced with /k/ in it scacco, fro eschec. There are two possible explanations for this: Either the word was borrowed directly from Arabic during the early Crusades, or it was borrowed through de dum schaec and the -ch goes back to artificial reproduction of the High German consonant shift (as happened in several other words).
