Verb [Old English]

IPA: /ˈʃu.ni.ɑn/
Etymology: Unknown. No known cognates in Germanic. Perhaps derived from Proto-West Germanic *skuhu (“shy”), making it akin to Old English sċyhhan (“to shy away from, shun”) and sċucca (“evil spirit, demon”); or possibly from earlier *sċūnian, *sċēonian, from Proto-West Germanic *skeuhnōn, *skiuhnijan, *skeuhnēn (“to be shy, fear, avoid”), from Proto-Germanic *skeuhaz (“shy”). Further, possibly ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kewdʰ- (“to cover, wrap, encase”), from *(s)kewH- (“to cover, hide”); if so, cognate with hȳdan (“to hide, conceal, preserve”).
