Etymology: "Skuffed" is the past tense and past participle of "skuff," a verb meaning to scrape or graze the surface of something. "Skuff" is a dialect and informal English word, most associated with northern England and Scotland, where it describes a light scraping contact, such as a shoe skidding along a pavement or a car bumper brushing a wall. Its origin is uncertain, and it is not recorded in the major historical dictionaries in a form that establishes a clear ancestor, so any claim about its source would be speculation.
