  1. Middle English sedule, slip of parchment or paper, note, from Old French cedule, from Late Latin schedula, diminutive of scheda, variant of Latin scida, papyrus strip, from Greek skhida, skhedē; perhaps akin to skhizein, to split; see schizo-.

  1. Formerly also shedule, scedule, scedull, cedule; from Middle English sedell = Middle Dutch schedel, cedule, cedel, Dutch cedel, ceêl, a bill, list; from Old French schedule, scedule, cedule, a scroll, note, bill, French cédule, a note of hand, = Provencal cedule, cedola = Spanish cédula = Portuguese cedula, sedula = Italian cedola, formerly also cedula, a note, bill, docket, etc. (later Middle High German zedel, zedele, G. zettel, a sheet of paper, a note, = Icelandic sethill = Swedish sedel = Danish seddel), from Late Latin schedula (Middle Latin also scidula), a small leaf of paper, Middle Latin a note, schedule, diminutive of Latin scheda, a leaf or sheet of paper, also written scida, Middle Latin scida, prob. (like the diminutive scindula, a splint or shingle) from Latin scindere (√ scid), cleave, split: see scission, shindle, shingle. The L. form scheda is on its face from Greek σχέδη, a leaf, tablet; but this does not appear in Greek till the 13th century (Middle Greek), and is prob. a mere reflex of the L. scheda, which in turn is then either a false spelling, simulating a Greek origin, of scida (as above), or a variant of *schida (found once as schidia, a splinter or chip of wood), from Greek *σχίδη, an unauthenticated variant (cf. σχίδαξ, another variant) of σχίζα, σχίζη (later diminutive σχίδιον), a splint, splinter, lath, also an arrow, spear, etc., also a cleft, separation, from σχίζειν(√ σχιδ), cleave, split, = Latin scindere (√ scid), cut (as above): see schism, schist, etc. The ult. origin of the word is thus the same, in any case. The proper spelling of the word, according to the derivation from Old French cedule, is cedule (pron. sed′ūl); the spelling scedule (pron. sed′ūl) is an imperfect restoration of cedule, toward the form schedule; the spelling schedule, as taken from the Old French restored spelling schedule, should be pron. shed′ūl, and was formerly written accordingly shedule; but being regarded, later, as taken directly from the Late Latin schedula, it is in America commonly pronounced sked′ūl.
