Etymology 1

Inherited from Proto-Slavic *sъkatъ. Verbal noun from скати́ть (skatítʹ).

1. slope, incline
   • 1897, Антон Чехов [Anton Chekhov], chapter I, in В родном углу; English translation from Constance Garnett, transl., At Home, 1916:

     На друго́й день Ве́ра до́лго гуля́ла о́коло до́ма. Сад, ста́рый, некраси́вый, без доро́жек, располо́женный неудо́бно, по ска́ту, был соверше́нно забро́шен: должно́ быть, счита́лся ли́шним в хозя́йстве.

     Na drugój denʹ Véra dólgo guljála ókolo dóma. Sad, stáryj, nekrasívyj, bez doróžek, raspolóžennyj neudóbno, po skátu, byl soveršénno zabróšen: dolžnó bytʹ, sčitálsja líšnim v xozjájstve.

     Next day Vera spent a long time walking round the house. The garden, which was old and unattractive, lying inconveniently upon the slope, had no paths, and was utterly neglected; probably the care of it was regarded as an unnecessary item in the management.

2. rolling down
3. (automotive) tire/tyre
4. (rail transport) a set of wheelsets (e.g. a pair of wheelsets for one bogie)
