Etymology: < Anglo-Norman *escauberc (recorded only in plural escaubers, -erz, ‘vaginas’, ‘dolones’, Joannes de Garlandia, 13th cent.), escauberge (13th cent. in Registr. Malmesb., Rolls Ser., I. 55), latinized eschauberca (an. 1204 in Rot. Chart. 134/1). Evidence of the existence of the word in continental Old French has not yet been found, as J. de Garlandia, though resident in France, was an Englishman. The form represents an earlier *scalberc , -berge , which must be an adoption of a Germanic compound, the last element of which contains the root *berg- to protect (compare hauberk n.). No such Germanic compound has, however, been found. As to the origin of the first element two suggestions have been made: (1) that it is Old High German scala shell, husk, which does not yield a very satisfactory sense; (2) that *scalberc is altered by dissimilation < *scarberc, < Old High German scâr, scâra, ordinarily meaning ‘scissors’, but occasionally used as a designation for a sword. The Icelandic skálp-r scabbard, skálm short sword (? < Greek σκάλμη), skálm ‘one part of a cloven thing’ (Vigfusson), plural bean-pods, have some resemblance in form and sense, but the possibility of etymological connection is very doubtful.

a. The case or sheath which serves to protect the blade of a sword, dagger, or bayonet when not in use. Also, a sheath in which a rifle, submachine gun, or similar firearm is kept. Usually made of hide or leather, bound with metal; sometimes entirely composed of steel or more precious metals, and embroidered, inlaid, or decorated with precious stones and jewels.
