Good Morning, also...
The word "science" and the word "shit". Have the same root.

Shit:
"Etymology 1
From Middle English schit, schyt, from Old English *sċite (“dung”) and sċitte (“diarrhoea”), from Proto-West Germanic *skiti and *skittjā, from Proto-Germanic *skitiz, from Proto-Indo-European *skeyd- (“to split, divide, separate”). Related to Saterland Frisian Skiete, West Frisian skyte, skyt, Dutch schijt, German Low German Schiet, German Scheiße, Danish skidt, Swedish and Norwegian Nynorsk skit, Norwegian Bokmål skitt, Icelandic skítur. Compare shite. Doublet of scheisse"

Scio:
"Etymology
De Vaan follows the LIV in tentatively reconstructing Proto-Italic *skijō, from Proto-Indo-European *skey- (“to distinguish, dissect”), in which case related to secō (“to cut off”), signum (“a sign”), Ancient Greek σχίζω (skhízō, “to split”) and English shit.[1] He additionally notes the bare verb may be a backformation from nesciō. The proposed semantic development is not unusual, but is difficult to reconcile with the archaic semantics preserved in the deponent senses of Latin scitus and its diminutive, Latin scitulus, which instead suggest shared origin with Sanskrit चि (ci), Sanskrit चेतते (cétate), presumably reflecting Proto-Indo-European *keyt-. (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?)"
