Etymology
Uncertain. Perhaps from Proto-West Germanic *stott, *stutt (“castrated animal, gelding”), from Proto-Germanic *stuttijan (“to mutilate, cut off, castrate”); or alternatively from Proto-Germanic *steutaz, *stūtaz (“something clipped or docked, stump”), from Proto-Indo-European *(s)tewd- (“to bump, push, hit”). Compare Old Norse stútr (“a young ox, bull”) (whence Danish stud (“bullock, steer”)).
