Nguồn gốc từ

ine-pro From Middle English sheth, shethe (holder for a sword, knife, etc., scabbard, sheath), from Old English sċēaþ (sheath), from *skaiþiju, from Proto-Germanic *skaiþiz (sheath; covering), from Proto-Indo-European *skey- (to dissect, split) (possibly from the notion of a split stick with a sword inserted).
