Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from Old English scytel, meaning dart or missile, stemming from the Proto-Germanic root meaning to shoot. The meaning evolved in the late Middle Ages to refer to a weaver's bobbin that darts back and forth across the loom, and later extended to any vehicle travelling back and forth over a short route.
