scutec
Romanian
Etymology
Uncertain. Possibly from Slavic skutŭ, or from Vulgar Latin *scuticum, from Latin scutica (“a leather lash, whip”), probably confused with derivatives of cutis (“leather”) (compare cutica). Therefore, the meaning could have changed from a leather belt to that of fabric or cloth in general. Cognate to Aromanian scutic.
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /ˈsku.tek/
Noun
scutec n (plural scutece)
- nappy, diaper (an absorbent garment worn by a baby, or by someone who is incontinent.)
