ski 滑雪橇，滑雪

來自古諾斯語 skith,滑雪橇，字面意思為木棍，木條，來自 Proto-Germanic*skid,分開，劈開，來自 PIE*skei,砍，切，詞源同 ship,skill.參照《神雕俠侶》楊過用小木條滑過黑水潭情節(jié)。

ski: ski: [19] A ski is etymologically a piece of wood ‘split’ from a tree trunk. The word was borrowed from Norwegian ski, a descendant of Old Norse skíth ‘piece of split wood, ski’. This in turn came from the prehistoric Germanic base *skīth-, *skaith- ‘divide, split’, source also of English sheath, shed, etc. The Norwegian word is pronounced /she/, and that is the way in which it was once often said (and indeed sometimes spelled) in English. (Old Norse skíth may also lie behind English skid [17], which originally meant ‘block of wood used as a support’, hence ‘wooden chock for stopping a wheel’.

The modern sense only emerged in the 19th century, from the notion of a wheel slipping when it is prevented from revolving.)
