Removed skin from something; or covered with skin of a particular type (like in 'thin-skinned').
From Old Norse 'skinn' meaning 'skin.' The verb form developed in English from the noun, with '-ed' as the past tense suffix. Originally meant to strip hides from hunted animals.
When we say someone is 'thin-skinned,' we're literally using the same word medieval hunters used—language lets us talk about emotional sensitivity using animal butchering vocabulary, which is kind of dark when you think about it!
