/skaf/

Etymology: Of obscure origin; compare skaigh, which is used in Scottish with a similar though less emphatically contemptuous sense. It has been conjectured that scaff may have been an adoption of the Dutch and German schaffen (whence Middle Swedish skaffa) to provide or procure (food). The word might possibly have been brought over by soldiers who had served in the Continental wars; in military use it would naturally have a colouring that might account for the contemptuous sense of the verb in Scots.

Scottish.

1. transitive. To beg or ask for (food, etc.) in a mean or contemptible manner. Also absol. or intransitive. (Still in common use.)
