"etymology_text": "From Old English scōn, scōum (“shoes”, dative plural) and scōna (“shoes'”, genitive plural), perhaps motivated by the analogy of other monosyllabic nouns ending in a vowel which etymologically take plurals in -en such as be (“bee”), do (“doe”), fo (“foe, enemy”), ro (“roe”), slo (“sloe”) and to (“toe”); thus equivalent to scho + -en (plural suffix).\nCompare what may be the same analogy in fle (“flea”), kne (“knee”), and tre (“tree”), although other explanations are possible: fle could be remodelled on flye (“fly”), while kne, tre might be influenced by plural forms of the variants knew and trew, where -en would be expected (as a development from Old English cnēowu, trēowu with the opaque plural ending -e < -u replaced by more transparent -en, as seen in early cneowen, treowen).",
