Brit. /skriːv/, U.S. /skriv/, Scottish English /skriv/, Irish English /skriːv/

Origin: Of uncertain origin. Perhaps an imitative or expressive formation. Perhaps also partly a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymon: screed v.2
Etymology: Origin uncertain. Perhaps imitative, partly influenced by scrape v. and shave v. In later (Scots) use perhaps partly also an alteration (after scrieve v.1; compare sense 2 at that entry) of screed v.2, which shows partial semantic overlap.Perhaps compare Scottish Gaelic sgrìob to scrape, scratch, grate (Early Irish scrípaid : see scribe v.), and also Middle Dutch scrāven to scrape (something) so that it comes loose, to throw (earth) up when rooting about in the ground, to root about (Dutch schraven to scrape, to root about, to make a scraping sound), of uncertain origin. Perhaps compare also rare Older Scots discrevar, apparently in sense ‘person who peels something’ (one isolated attestation; of uncertain origin):1509 Justiciary Rec. II. 144 Gif thair be ony discrevaris or pelaris of grene wode.
