It has several interpretations as a noun and as a verb, but they are all related to a flat, thin surface. It is understood as "sheet, sheet of paper, face of a nautical sail, cape or cover, shroud, sheet music, . . . " which can also be used as "the part of the ground that covers a rain" or the "hatch that serves to stretch the sails in a ship". It surely has a proto-Germanic origin, which came into Old English as sceat and evolved in the Middle Ages as schete ("length of cloth").
More than a linguistic resource, it is a vice of language by which archsyllables ("elongated words with more syllables unnecessarily") are used within sentences, usually to pretend an erudition or technical knowledge that most of the time ends in pomposity or sesquipedalism. For this, prefixes and suffixes are used that are usually redundant because they do not add anything to the concept of the words they modify. They also make use of the periphrasis and the style of culteranism. See pleonasm, polysylabism, ecstasy.
