Definition
The act of paying one's share of a bill, reckoning, or entertainment cost; settling accounts at a tavern or gathering.
Etymology
Present participle of 'escot,' formed with the gerund suffix '-ing.' Represents the continuous or habitual action of paying one's share of communal expenses.
Kelly Says
Medieval taverns had complex social rules about 'escoting'—who bought the first round, how bills were split, and who was obligated to pay, creating unwritten laws that governed drinking culture much like modern bar etiquette does today.
