[Verb] | "shed" | \ ˈshed \
1: to rid oneself of temporarily or permanently as superfluous or unwanted
2: to give off, discharge, or expel from the body of a plant or animal: such as
3: to eject, slough off, or lose as part of the normal processes of life
Origin: before 12th century ;
Middle English sheden, shedden, shoden "to divide, separate, part or comb (hair), pour out, discharge, cause (blood) to flow, pour (tears) in drops, emit (light)," going back to Old English sceādan, scādan (Class VII strong verb) "to separate, divide, distinguish, decide, scatter, shed (tears, blood)," going back to Germanic *skaiđan-/skaiþan- (whence also Old Frisian skētha, skēda "to separate, depart, exclude, decide, distinguish", Old Saxon skēdan, skēthan "to separate, render (fat), disperse," Old High German skeidan "to separate, distinguish, apportion," Gothic skaidan "to separate"), going back to pre-Germanic *skoit-, variant (with o-ablaut and voiceless final stop) of Indo-European *skei̯d- "split, separate," whence also, with zero grade, Greek schízein "to split, separate," with zero grade and nasal present Sanskrit (Vedic) chinátti "(s/he) cuts off, tears up," Latin scindō, scindere "to split, cleave, separate," with o-grade Russian Church Slavic cěditi "to strain, filter," Bosnian-Croatian-Serbian cijèditi, Lithuanian skáidau, skáidyti "to separate, break down" (also, with e-grade, skíedžiu, skíesti "to make thin, separate");
* Note : Old English sceādan is a strong verb in West Saxon, but already a weak verb in Northumbrian, and predominantly a weak verb in Middle English. The Middle and Modern English outcomes of the verb, excepting the uncommon form shoden, see:m to reflect Old English scēadan, with later shortening of the vowel, as in other monosyllabic words ending in -d (see: note at {red:1|red:1}). — The Germanic outcome of the Indo-European base, with o-grade and t, is peculiar; Lexikon der indogermanischen Verben, 2nd edition (Wiesbaden, 2001), suggests generalization of o-grade and devoiced from a presumed reduplicated present 3rd-person singular ending in -ti. The base *skei̯d- likely emerges directly in Germanic as *skītan- "to defecate, shit" (see: {shit:2|shit:2}); this sense may have co-opted the verb, leading to adoption of the variant *skaidan- to express the other, less objectionable meanings. The Lexikon writes the Indo-European etymon as *sḱhei̯d- to account for the Indo-Aryan forms and the aspiration in Greek, though Slavic and Baltic do not show a palatovelar. R. Beekes (Etymological Dictionary of Greek, Brill, 2013) regards the Greek aspiration as unexplained. Following the notion that -t-/-d- is a "root extension," J. Pokorny (Indogermanisches etymologisches Wörterbuch) adduces a more basic root *skei̯- "split," which, with other root extensions, produce for him a vast range of vocabulary in Indo-European languages.;
