Etymology 2

First attested in c. 1600., of uncertain origin. Most plausibly from the plural of Old High German *scal, attested in fuozscal (“kind of trap or lock for feet”). However, this would require that the word remained unattested for about 800 years. Alternatively identical to etymology 1 with the sense derived from the clinking sound.
