"skuķis" meaning in All languages combined

See skuķis on Wiktionary

Noun [Latvian]

IPA: [skucis]
Etymology: From skust (“to scratch, to scrape”), a dialectal variant of skūt (“to shave”): a derived form *skutis > *skuķis (compare with *katis > kaķis (“cat”)), probably generalized from Courland dialects. The original meaning was “that which scratches, scrapes,” probably referring at first to ticks or lice, then later to children (probably because of their small size; in some dialects, it can still refer to boys), and finally “girl.” The masculine form is older, possibly from an earlier neuter; the feminine form skuķe is more recent.
