sculln.¹

Brit.

/skʌl/, U.S.

/skəl/

Forms: Also Middle English skulle, 1600s scul, Middle English sculle, Middle English–1800s skull.

Etymology: Of obscure origin. Some would identify it with skull n.³ bowl, goblet, supposing that the name refers to the hollowed form of the blade; but this seems very improbable.

1. A kind of oar: (a) an oar used to propel a boat by working it from side to side over the stern of the boat, reversing the blade at each turn; (b) an oar, shorter and lighter than a ‘rowing’ oar, so that a pair can be operated at once by one person, who sits midway between the sides of the boat.
