History
Etymology
Borrowed from Bengali ঝুট (jhuṭ). Likely related to Ukrainian джгут (džhut) and Russian жгут (žgut).
From Latin plural Iuti, Iutae (in Bede), from Old English Ēotas. Ultimately from Proto-West Germanic *eut, from Proto-Germanic *eutaz, *eutaniz. The spelling was later influenced by Medieval Latin Jutae, Juti.
