стужа

From Old Church Slavonic студъ (studŭ, “cold”), from Proto-Slavic *studenъ (“cold”), from *studъ (“cold, shame”) and thus cognate with стыд (styd, “shame”). Compare Polish ostuda, Bulgarian студ (stud).

Vasmer links the PIE root with Proto-Indo-European *(s)tewd- which, that being true, would expand the list of cognates to the likes of Sanskrit तुदति (tudati, “to vex, to bother”), Sanskrit तोद (toda, “instigator, propeller”), Latin tundo (“I beat, I crush”), Ancient Greek Τῡδεύς (Tūdeús, “Tydeus”), German stoßen and English stot.
