Origin

Late Old English sceorf, from the base of sceorfan 'gnaw', sceorfian 'cut to shreds'.

scruff from early 16th century:
As an insult for a person with a dirty or untidy appearance, scruff is an alteration of scurf (Old English), meaning dandruff or a similar skin condition, which comes from the same root as Old English words meaning ‘to gnaw’ and ‘to shred’. The reversal of letters from scurf to scruff is also seen in bird and dirt, originally brid and drit. The scruff of the neck was originally the scuff—the word is recorded from the late 18th century, but its origin is obscure.

Rhymes

serf, surf, turf
