Etymology

[edit]

A ja-stem nominal derived either from *stikaną (to stick) or its iterative *stukkōną (idem).[1]

An alternative theory, as follows, derives the word from Proto-Indo-European *(s)tewg- (to shock, butt, impact). The geminate -kk- is assumed based on *stukkaz (stick) (whence Old English stocc, Old Norse stokkr).
