SCULLS Meaning and
Definition
-
Sculls, as a noun, is the plural form of the word "scull," which refers to a particular type of oar or a method of rowing. In the context of rowing, sculls are short oars, usually between five and nine feet in length, that are used by a single rower who holds one in each hand. This technique is referred to as sculling. The oars themselves have a smaller blade compared to other rowing oars, allowing for quicker movements and a higher number of strokes per minute.
Sculls can also be used to describe the type of boat used in sculling. A scull boat is typically a lightweight, narrow boat designed for one rower, with two or four sets of sculling oarlocks attached to the gunwales. Sculling boats are commonly used in competitive rowing, particularly in disciplines such as single sculls or double sculls.
Additionally, "sculls" can also refer to the act of rowing a sculling boat. It involves the method of propelling the boat forward by using the oar handles in a rotating motion, with one oar blade moving through the water on one side of the boat while the other blade is out of the water on the opposite side.
Overall, "sculls" refers to both the oars used in sculling and the technique of rowing with two oars simultaneously.

Etymology of SCULLS
The word "sculls" has an interesting etymology. It derives from the Old English word "scealu" meaning "shell" or "husk". In Middle English, it evolved to "skulle" or "skul", referring specifically to the upper part of the human body, the cranium. Over time, the term was extended to represent a vessel made from a hollowed-out log or other materials resembling the shape of a skull. Eventually, "scull" came to be associated with a specific type of rowing boat with distinct oars called "sculls". Today, the term "sculls" commonly refers to the oars used in rowing or a specific type of rowing boat in which each rower controls two oars.
