shin

shin: [OE] Shin has Germanic relatives in German schiene ‘thin plate’, Dutch schen ‘shin’, Swedish skena ‘shin’, and Danish skinne ‘splint’. Its underlying meaning seems to be ‘thin piece’. The first record of its use as a verb, meaning ‘climb with the hands and legs’, comes from the early 19th century.

Old English scinu "shin, fore part of the lower leg," from Proto-Germanic *skino "thin piece" (cognates: Dutch scheen, Old High German scina, German Schienbein "shin, shinbones"), from PIE root *skei- "to cut, split" (see shed (v.)). Shin splints is attested from 1930.
