Etymology: Origin uncertain; perhaps the reflex of a borrowing < early Scandinavian (compare Old Icelandic skína shine v.), with frequentative suffix (see -le suffix 3), or perhaps an alteration of scintill v. (although that is very rare), perhaps by association with Scots skinkle ‘to sprinkle, scatter’ (although that is rare and only recorded in the 19th cent.: see Sc. National Dict. at skinkle v.), a derivative of skink v.
Scottish. Chiefly literary and poetic.
