Etymology 1

From Middle English sc?uren (“to polish, scour; to clean; to beat, whip”), from Middle Dutch scuren, schuren (“to clean; to polish”) or Middle Low German sch?ren, of uncertain origin but probably from Old French escurer, from Medieval Latin sc?r?, esc?r?, exc?r? (“to clean off”), from ex- (“prefix meaning ‘thoroughly’”) + c?r? (“to arrange, see to, take care of”), from c?ra (“care, concern”) (from Proto-Indo-European *k?eys- (“to heed”)) + -?.

The word is cognate with Danish skure, Middle High German schüren, schiuren (modern German scheuern (“to scour, scrub; to chafe”)), Norwegian skura (“to scrub”), Swedish skura.
