Meaning
Origin
The term "skive" first appeared in the English language in the early 1800s, originally used to describe the act of cutting thin slices of leather. By the mid-1800s, it had expanded its meaning to include avoiding work or duty. It is believed that this extension of meaning arose from the fact that shoemakers often took time off from their work to cut thin pieces of leather.
