Schürze
German
editEtymology
editFirst attested in the 17th century and hence hardly inherited within High German. Probably from Middle Low German schörte, from Old Saxon *skurtia, from Proto-West Germanic *skurtijā.
Adapted to the High German consonantism by conflation with related Late Middle High German schurz (modern German Schurz), a nominalisation of the adjective schurz (“short”), from Old High German schurz, from Proto-West Germanic *skurt, from Proto-Germanic *skurtaz. Cognate with English shirt and short, respectively.
