σκέπας

Etymology
. Although seems primary at first sight, it is attested only late, which may indicate that it should rather be interpreted as a back-formation from the denominative verb  or from. Although the stem looks Indo-European and could be projected back to a pre-form, no good cognates are known. Only some Balto-Slavic forms like 🇨🇬 and 🇨🇬 may be connected, although these reflect an s-less stem.

Noun

 * 1) covering, shelter
