The word scorpion has remained relatively unchanged since its Greek roots in skorpios, which comes from the root (s)ker-, which is in the hypothetical Proto-Indo-European language. (S)ker- means "to cut," apparently referring to its claws. The English word scorpioncame into use in the thirteenth century.
