scabbard

scabbard: [13] English acquired scabbard from Anglo-Norman escaubers. This appears to have been a compound formed from Old High German scār, which usually meant ‘scissors’ but was also used for ‘sword’ (it came from the same base that produced English shear), and the element -berc ‘protection’ (as in hauberk [13], which etymologically means ‘neck-protection’), which was derived from bergan ‘protect’ (a relative of English borough, borrow, bury, etc). So essentially, a scabbard is ‘sword-protection’.
=> borough, borrow, bury, share, shear, shirt, short, skirt

scabbard (n.)

c. 1300, from Anglo-French *escauberc "sheath, vagina" (13c.), from Frankish or another Germanic source, from Proto-Germanic *sker-berg-, literally "sword-protector," from *skar "blade" (source also of Old High German scar "scissors, blade, sword," from PIE *(s)ker- (1) "to cut;" see shear (v.)) + *berg- "protect" (source also of Old High German bergan "to protect;" see bury).
