skrov

Etymology
Used at least since 1592. In Swedish dialects and in Norwegian, skrov means rough, porous. Hence Swedish. It is possible, but not certain, that skrov- in skrovmål has this origin.

Noun

 * 1) a hull, a body (of a ship)
 * 2) a carcass, a torso, a body (of an animal or human, in particular the open body of a slaughtered animal)
