Etymology: "Skailed" is the past tense and past participle of the Scots verb "skail," meaning to scatter, disperse, or spill, as when grain is strewn across the floor or a crowd breaks up. The verb likely comes from Middle English "skailen," probably from Old Norse "skilja," "to separate," and in Scotland a school still "skails" when classes let out. The sense of careful, even spreading in the meaning you supplied is not how the word is normally used, so the idea of scattering is the one to rely on.
