Dutch[edit]

Etymology[edit]

From Middle Dutch schicht, from Old Dutch *skiht, from Proto-Germanic *skihtiz, derived from *skehaną (from which geschieden). The meaning was "something that shoots forward" and is only attested in Dutch; the German near-cognate Geschichte preserves the earlier meaning "forward movement" and hence "that which proceeds/occurs".

Pronunciation[edit]

Noun[edit]

schicht f (plural schichten, diminutive schichtje n)

  2. beam of light, flash
