Etymology

[edit]

From Middle High German stōzen, from Old High German stōzan, from Proto-West Germanic *stautan, from Proto-Germanic *stautaną, from Proto-Indo-European *stówd-e-ti, an o-grade intensive formation from *(s)tewd- (to hit, push).

Akin to Old Norse stauta and steyta (whence Danish støde), Gothic 𐍃𐍄𐌰𐌿𐍄𐌰𐌽 (stautan). Non-Germanic cognates include Latin tundo. Compare Sanskrit तुदति (tudáti, to strike, goad), तोद (todá, driver, impeller). Related to Dutch stoten (to push, bump) and dialectal English stot (to bounce, rebound, ricochet, or make bounce, rebound or ricochet).
