​ stützen, vb., ‘to prop, support,’ from the equiv. MidHG. (under-) stützen, OHG. (untar-)stuzzen; allied to MidHG. and ModHG. stütze. OHG. stuzzen, from *stutjan, points to a Teut. root stut, besides which OHG. studen, OIc. styðja, ‘to fix firmly, prop.’ and AS. stuðu, studu, ‘post’ (E. stud), presume a Teut. root stuþ (stud). The early history of the cognates is obscure.
