Skaði

Comments (Meaning / History Only)

I'm guessing, since Skaði means damage, that this is where we get the English word "scathe" from.

(Edit--I was correct regarding the etymology: https://www.dictionary.com/browse/scathe)

'Skaði' is most likely to mean 'damage', as it does in modern Scandinavian languages.
