History
Etymology
From Middle English stot, from Old English stott (“a hack, jade, or worthless horse”), from Proto-West Germanic *stott, *stutt, of uncertain origin; yet, probably related to Old Norse stútr (“young bull, steer”) (whence Danish stud (“a castrated bull, steer”), Swedish stut (“a steer”)). Compare also English stoat.
Likely derived from Middle Dutch stoten (“to push”) or Middle Low German stôten, from Old Saxon stōtan, from Proto-West Germanic *stautan, from Proto-Germanic *stautaną (“to push, jolt, bump”), from Proto-Indo-European *(s)tewd-, from *(s)tew- (“to push, hit”). Also compare Middle English steten (“to thrust, strike, push, knock down”), Old Norse stauta and steyta (whence Danish støde), Gothic 𐍃𐍄𐌰𐌿𐍄𐌰𐌽 (stautan), Old Saxon stotan; as well, modern English stutter.
