skrott

Compare dialectal Norwegian Nynorsk skrunt and Swedish skrott both meaning apple core, probably related to Danish skrutrygget (“humpbacked”) and Danish fylde skrutten (“to fill stomach”), both of unclear origin. Compare also Swedish skrutt (“weak person; devil”) and dialectal Swedish skrynta (“body; carcass”).
