stott (third-person singular simple present stotts, present participle stottin, simple past and past participle stotted)
(This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.)
stott m (genitive singular stitt, plural stitt)
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”)).
