Scots and northern English dialectal compound meaning serious harm or damage, physical or otherwise. 'Scathe' (injury) comes from Old Norse 'skaði' and survives in modern English only in 'unscathed'. The 'ill-' prefix intensifies it. Used in older legal and literary contexts to describe wrongful injury done to a person or their property.
