Etimologia (Inglese)

In summary

Attested as a simplex since the 17th century. Probably after Middle Low German stütten as a backformation from inherited unterstützen, from Middle High German understüzzen, from Old High German untarstuzzen, eventually from Proto-West Germanic *stuttijan. See also Dutch stutten (“to support”), and, by borrowing from Low German, Norwegian støtte, Swedish stötta, and (probably) dialectal English stut (“to support”). The verb is related with Proto-Germanic *stuþs, whence English stud (“rotrusion; post”).
