köken: From late Middle High German schützen (“to protect”, literally “to dam up, contain”), either from the root of schießen (“to shoot (advance a barrier)”) or schütten (“to pour [pile up a protective wall]”). Cognate with English shut. Compare typologically Latin prōtegō, prōtectus (whence English protect), from Latin prō- + tegō.
