Etymology

From Middle English scrutiny, from Medieval Latin scr?tinium (“a search, an inquiry”), from Vulgar Latin scr?tor (“to search or examine thoroughly”), of uncertain origin. Possibly from Late Latin scr?ta (“rubbish, broken trash”); or of Germanic origin, related to Old English scr?tnung (“examination, investigation, inquiry, search”), from scr?tnian, scr?dnian (“to examine carefully, scrutinize, consider, investigate”), from Proto-Germanic *skrud?n?, *skruþ?n? (“to search, examine”), from Proto-Indo-European *(s)krewt- (“to cut”). Compare Old High German skrod?n, scrut?n, scrutil?n (“to research, explore”), Old High German scrod (“a search, scrutiny”), Old English scr?adian (“to shred, cut up, cut off, peel, pare, prune”). More at shred.
