Nguồn gốc từ

ine-pro Borrowed from Middle French sceptique (but with a pronunciation closer to that of the Latin etymon), or possibly directly from scepticus (originally attested only in the plural Scepticī (the sect of Skeptics)), from Proto-Italic *spektos (see, observing), from *speḱ- (to see), compare to σκοπέω (to view, examine).
