scripn.1

Brit. /skrɪp/, U.S. /skrɪp/
Forms:

α. Middle English scripe, Middle English script (transmission error), Middle English scripte (transmission error), Middle English scrype, Middle English skippe (transmission error), Middle English skreppe, Middle English–1500s scryppe, Middle English (1500s Scottish) skryp, Middle English–1500s skryppe, Middle English–1600s scrippe, Middle English–1600s skrip, Middle English–1600s skrippe, Middle English– scrip, 1500s scripp, 1500s scryp, 1500s–1600s skripp.

β. late Middle English crippe, late Middle English cryppe; Scottish pre-1700 crip.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French escripe, escrepe; Latin scrippa.
Etymology: Partly (i) < Anglo-Norman escripe, escrippe, variants of Anglo-Norman escrepe, Anglo-Norman and Middle French (Northern) escreppe, Anglo-Norman and Old French, Middle French escherpe, Old French, Middle French escharpe small bag or pouch, especially one carried by a pilgrim (c1135; French écharpe > scarf n.1), with loss of the unstressed initial vowel, and partly (ii) < post-classical Latin scrippa, scrippum small bag or pouch carried by a pilgrim (8th cent.), both < an unattested Frankish borrowing (with metathesis) of classical Latin scirpus reed (see scirpean adj.); compare classical Latin scirpea basket. Compare shrip n.Compare Old Icelandic skreppa , Old Swedish skräppa (Swedish regional skräppa ), Old Danish skrepe (Danish skræppe ), in the same sense, which probably also ultimately reflect a borrowing < French. Earlier currency is perhaps implied by the surname Geoffrey Scrippe (1260). The β. forms probably arose by metanalysis after a genitive -s ending (compare quot. 1440).
Now archaic or historical.
A small bag or pouch, esp. one carried by a pilgrim, shepherd, or beggar. Also figurative and allusive.In Middle English frequently coupled with bourdon (‘staff’; see bourdon n.2) [compare Anglo-Norman escreppe e burdun, Middle French escharpe et bourdon (late 12th cent.)] .
