Etymology

Inherited from Middle High German: spuot

Inherited from Old High German: spuot

In summary

The inherited continuation of Middle High German spuot (“success”), from Old High German spuot, from Proto-West Germanic *spōdi, is still attested a few times in Early Modern German. Later use, however, entirely follows Low German Spood, from Middle Low German spôt, also from the West Germanic. See sputen for more.
