[Prob. a. OF. escrep(p)e wallet, purse, bag for alms (later escerpe, escharpe, mod.F. écharpe scarf). Cf. shrip.
ON. had skreppa (Sw. skräppa, Da. skreppe) in the same sense, but it is doubtful whether the word is native or from OF. The OF. word is commonly supposed to be of Teut. origin; cf. the MHG. gloss ‘scherbe, pera’ (Graff.). The commonly cited OE. scripp has no existence; the supposed instance is a scribal or editorial mistake for scip (ship).]
A small bag, wallet, or satchel, esp. one carried by a pilgrim, a shepherd, or a beggar.
In ME. frequently coupled with bourdon2 (= staff); cf. OF. escrepe et bordon.
