Middle English

Etymology 1

    Inherited from Old English sċēotan,[1] from Proto-West Germanic *skeutan, from Proto-Germanic *skeutaną. Reinforced by Old English sċotian, from Proto-West Germanic *skotōn, from, Proto-Germanic *skutōną; compare schot.

    As with chesen, the form with /eː/ regularly reflects Old English /e͜oː/, while that with /oː/ (the source of modern shoot) reflects a dissimilatory shift of stress to that diphthong's second element after a palatalised consonant.[2][3]
