Etymology
[edit]15th century, from Italian scatola, with metathesis from Latin castulum, itself a diminutive of Lombardic Old High German kasto. Hence a doublet of inherited Kasten as well as the later borrowing Schatulle. The -ch- is due to a Bavarian consonantal development, for which compare Spachtel.
