It's an iterative/durative/inchoative verbal formative. Compare Lat.
no-sc-ere with Gr. γι(γ(νώ-σκ-ειν; Lat.
cre-sc-ere "grow", Lat.
albe-sc-ere "become white", etc.
Are there non-sc- forms of those verbs in use? Perhaps,
cr-ere* "to foster growth"*, or
alb-ere* "to whiten"*

You can access the Lewis & Short dictionary here:
http://archimedes.fas.harvard.edu/pollux/ (defaults to LSJ, but use the drop down menu box). Verbs are looked up in the first person, and there is a verb
albeo, albere ("to be white").
