Etymology

[edit]

Inherited from Middle French étront, from Old French estront, from Late Latin struntus, borrowed from Frankish *strunt, from Proto-Germanic *strunt- (stump), from *strent- (to be stiff), from Proto-Indo-European *(s)ter- (stiff). Compare Dutch stront (feces, turd), West Frisian stront, English strunt (tail), Middle High German strunze (stump), Italian stronzo, Luxembourgish strëllchen, dialectal Swedish strunt (a bud, sprout, offshoot).
