Apparently my great-grandmother, who was infamous for not disciplining her kids meaningfully, used to threaten to “scut/scutch” her kids and grandkids. My mom never knew where that came from until I learned about using an escutcheon on flax to make linen. IIRC, that’s where they beat the plant fibers with the escutcheon to make them soft before hackling them. I’ve never heard anyone outside of the family or a history museum/book use the term scut/ch.
