Origin:
The word "scudo" comes from the Latin word "scutum," which referred to a large, rectangular shield used by Roman legionaries. The shape of the scutum evolved over time, becoming more round and convex.
In the Middle Ages, the term "scudo" was used to refer to various types of shields and coins. In Italy, the scudo became the standard coin during the Renaissance. It was divided into 100 soldi or 200 quattrini.
The scudo was also adopted as a currency in France, where it was known as the "écu." In the United Kingdom, the scudo was referred to as the "crown," which eventually became the name of the modern British currency.
Today, the term "scudo" is primarily used in a metaphorical sense, meaning protection or defense. For example, someone might say that they have a "strong scudo" against criticism or adversity.
