What askew means

Turned or tilted to one side; not straight or level.

Where the word comes from

From Middle English *askewe*, likely combining the prefix *a-* (meaning "in" or "on") with *skewe*, which may derive from Old Norse *skǿfr* or a similar Scandinavian root meaning "slant" or "awry." The word entered English around the 14th century and originally described something turned to one side or positioned at an angle, still its primary sense today.
