The Scheldt (Dutch: 'Schelde' -nlˈsxɛldə, French 'Escaut') is a 350 km long river in northern France, western Belgium and the southwestern part of the Netherlands. Its name is derived from an adjective corresponding to Old English sceald "shallow", Modern English shoal, Low German schol, Frisian skol, and Swedish skäll "thin".
