Etymology
Scoate descends from the Latin verb excutere, meaning to shake out or strike out, built from ex- (out) and quatere (to shake). Regular sound change turned excutere into scoate, and the meaning drifted from a physical shaking motion to the broader sense of taking or pulling something out. The same Latin verb left a mark elsewhere in Romance, though most relatives kept the shaking sense rather than the Romanian extraction sense.
