Strong’s Greek Lexicon
probably from an obsolete σκερπω skerpo (perhaps strengthened from the base of G4649 and meaning to pierce); a “scorpion” (from its sting):—scorpion.
Owing to changes in the enumeration while in progress, there were no words left for numbers 2717 and 3203–3302, which were therefore silently dropped out of the vocabulary and references as redundant.
