"schots" meaning in Dutch

See schots in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Adjective

IPA: /sxɔts/ Audio: Nl-schots.ogg
Rhymes: -ɔts Etymology: From Middle Dutch schots, with further etymology unclear. Most likely from schot (“shot”) + -s, but with unclear development in meaning. Possibly from the strong verb schieten (“to shoot”), though that seems unlikely as the word is young and only found in Dutch. Probably not from the word Schots (“Scottish”), as the word is spelled with a final -s in even the oldest attestations, yet Schots used to be spelled with a final -sch.
