"schot" meaning in Middle English

See schot in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ʃɔt/, /ˈʃɔ̞ːt(ə)/ (note: from open-syllable lengthening in inflected forms or Old English *sċote), /ʃeːt/, /ʃoːt/ (note: influenced by scheten), /ʃɛt/ (note: influenced by the past forms of scheten)
Etymology: Inherited from Old English sċot, ġesċot, from Proto-West Germanic *skot, from Proto-Germanic *skutą. However, forms with final -e (such as schote) appear in texts where it indicates /ə/ rather than being orthographic, meaning that reinforcement from an *sċote (probably an alteration of sċyte with the vocalism of (ġe)sċot) is likely. The "payment" sense is perhaps from Old English sċēotan (“to pay”) (a sense that is not recorded for Middle English scheten).
