Etymology[edit]

Of uncertain origin.

Most likely from Proto-Indo-European *skewp- (to touch, probe), and thus cognate with Russian щу́пать (ščúpatʹ, to feel, grope).

Alternatively, a Sanskritization of a dialectal form of स्पृश् (spṛś, to touch, stroke).

The family of Germanic words descended from Proto-Indo-European *skewbʰ- (to push, drive) to which German schieben (to shove) belongs to may be related; however, these correspond better to Sanskrit words with a 'bh' rather than a 'p' consonant.

Pronunciation[edit]

Root[edit]
