shankshank: [OE] Shank originally meant ‘leg’, or more specifically ‘shin’ (Edward I of England was nicknamed ‘Longshanks’ on account of his long legs). The word goes back to a prehistoric West Germanic *skangkan, which also produced Dutch schenk ‘leg-bone’ and is closely related to German schinken ‘ham’. Its ultimate origins are not known, although it has been suggested that it arose from the notion of ‘crookedness’ or ‘lameness’ (in which case German hinken ‘limp’ may be related). The main modern meaning of shank, ‘stem, shaft’, emerged in the 16th century.shank (v.)1927, in golf, "to strike (the ball) with the heel of the club," from shank (n.). Related: Shanked; shanking. Earlier as "to take to one's legs" (1774, Scottish); "to send off without ceremony" (1816).shank (n.)Old English sceanca "leg, shank, shinbone," specifically, the part of the leg from the knee to the ankle, from Proto-Germanic *skankon- (cognates: Middle Low German schenke, German schenkel "shank, leg"), perhaps literally "that which bends," from PIE root *skeng- "crooked" (cognates: Old Norse skakkr "wry, distorted," Greek skazein "to limp"). Shank's mare "one's own legs as a means of transportation" is attested from 1774 (shanks-naig)."
