It is derived from the verb "scud", which initially meant "to move swiftly or with hurried pace" and later took on more specific meanings related to clouds, rain, or wind. The Middle English term "scudden" eventually evolved from the Old Norse word "skythja", which had a similar meaning of "to take off or fly swiftly" when referring to clouds or birds.
