Etymology
Comes from Middle English schenden, which developed from Old English sċendan (“to put to shame, blame, disgrace”), itself from Proto-West Germanic *skandijan (“to scold, berate”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kem- (“to cover”). It is a cognate of Dutch schenden (“to infringe, profane, defile”) and German schänden (“defile”), and is related to Old English sċand (“infamy, shame, scandal”). See also shand and shame.
