Proto-Slavic

Etymology

Per Skok, perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *(s)tewg-, a g-extension of *(s)tew- (“to pound, to strike”).

In Czech, Slovak, there is attested stuha (“ribbon”), which Vasmer derives from unrelated Proto-Slavic *sъtǫga (“knot, splice”) whence Old East Slavic сътуга (sŭtuga), Russian стуга (stuga, “conjoint”).

Noun

*stuga f

  1. cavity, crack, hollow structure
  2. (perhaps) small land depression, groove → mire (in dialectal East Slavic)
