Etymologie (Engels)

Overgenomen van Middelengels: stinten

Overgenomen van Oudengels: styntan

Verwant aan Oudnoors: *stynta

In summary

From Middle English stinten, from Old English styntan (“to make blunt”) and *stintan (attested in āstintan (“to make dull, stint, assuage”)), from Proto-West Germanic *stuntijan, from Proto-Germanic *stuntijaną and Proto-Germanic *stintaną (“to make short”), probably influenced in some senses by cognate Old Norse *stynta, stytta (“to make short, shorten”).
