Origin

Mid 16th century (as a verb): perhaps an alteration of the noun scut¹, thus reflecting the sense 'race like a hare'.

scuttle from Old English:
There are three main scuttles in English. The one you keep coal in meant a dish in Old English and comes via Old Norse from Latin scutella ‘dish’. The one for moving is probably from dialect scuddle from scud (mid 16th century) ‘move quickly’, which may have come from scut (Late Middle English) originally meaning a hare, but now better known as the tail of a hare or rabbit. This would give scud an original meaning similar to the modern informal ‘to hare along’ for to move quickly. The scuttle of a ship is first found as a noun meaning ‘hatchway’ at the end of the 15th century, and only as a verb ‘to sink’ from the mid 17th. It may come, via French, from Spanish escotilla ‘hatchway’.
