Etimologia (Inglese)

Ereditato da tedesco medio alto: zote

Ereditato da tedesco antico alto: zota

Affine inglese: tod

Affine norse antico: taða

In summary

From Middle High German zote, from Old High German zota (alongside zoto m), from a Proto-Germanic *tud-. Immediately comparable with Dutch tod, English tod (“bush, flock”), and perhaps Old Norse toddi (“piece”). Also related with Old High German zata, zato (“flock”), Old Norse taða (“manured meadow”), from Proto-Germanic *tadǭ. Probably from the root Proto-Indo-European *deh₂- (“to split, cut, divide”). Lack of lengthening before -t- is regular in Upper German, so there is no need to assume ideophonic gemination (though this is possible). A Central German doublet is Zote (“dirty joke”), which see.
