Origin:
The word "shake" originated from the Proto-Indo-European root *skak-, which meant "to leap, jump." This root is shared by many other words in English, such as "skip," "scramble," and "skewer."
Over time, the meaning of "shake" evolved from "to leap or jump" to "to move rapidly to and fro." This broader meaning is likely due to the fact that shaking is often a repetitive motion that involves jumping or leaping.
