Reconstruction:Proto-West Germanic/stoppōn - Wiktionary, the free dictionary

From Wiktionary, the free dictionary

Proto-West Germanic

[edit]

Unknown; According to Barnhart probably from Proto-Germanic *stuppōną (“to stop, close”), *stuppijaną (“to push, pierce, prick”), from Proto-Indo-European *(s)tewp-, *(s)tewb- (“to push; stick”), from *(s)tew- (“to bump; impact; butt; push; beat; strike; hit”). Alternatively, suggested to be borrowed from Latin stuppō (“to stop up, block, plug”),[1] if not the other direction, but according to Century Dictionary, this is "on grounds of meaning somewhat doubtful". Alternatively, related to Proto-Germanic *stubbaz (“stump, stub”).[2] See also Proto-Germanic *tappô.
