Origin: GR [a formation built with Greek elements]X [probably]
Etymology: Popular reduplicated formation [σ]κο-σκυλ-μάτ-ια (cf. Schwyzer 423) of σκύλλω dishevel, maltreat. The relation with Lat. quisquiliae pl. waste, dirt is not clear; for cognate Hofmann against Walde, who assumes a loan from Greek; s. Bq and W.-Hofmann s. v.
