means A small leftover piece of something, or, as a verb, to discard something entirely — and informally, a fight or quarrel.

from From Old Norse 'skrap,' meaning scraps or trifles, related to 'skrapa' (to scrape). It entered English in the Middle Ages via Norse-influenced dialects, originally meaning bits scraped together or leftover fragments. The sense of 'a fight' is a separate, later development (19th-century slang), likely from the idea of a scrappy, scrambling tussle — possibly related to 'scrape' in the sense of getting into a scrape or difficulty, though the exact leap to 'fight' isn't fully documented.
