Uncertain. Perhaps from Proto-West Germanic *stott, *stutt (castrated animal, gelding), from Proto-Germanic *stuttijan (to mutilate, cut off, castrate); or alternatively from Proto-Germanic *steutaz, *stūtaz (something clipped or docked, stump), from Proto-Indo-European *(s)tewd- (to bump, push, hit). Compare Old Norse stútr (a young ox, bull) (whence Danish stud (bullock, steer)).
