Borrowed from Italian stucco (“coating made of pulverised gypsum, plaster, stucco”) from Old Italian stucco, from Lombardic stucki, *stucchi (“crust, fragment, piece”) from Proto-Germanic *stukkiją (“stump, piece”), from Proto-Indo-European *(s)tewg- (“to shock, butt, impact”). Akin to German Stück (“piece”), Old Saxon stukki (“piece, fragment”) and Old English stycce. Related to stock.
