Etymology

From ex- +‎ scandō (“to mount”). The spelling with esc- instead of exsc- is probably caused by a dissimilatory replacement of /eksk/ with /esk/ (as in the word sescentī, standing for sex-centī), not by use of the long-vowel allomorph ē-, which is only regularly found before a voiced consonant (ēpōtō is an isolated exception).[1]
