    A ja-stem nominal derived either from *stikaną (“to stick”) or its iterative *stukkōną (“idem”).[1]

    An alternative theory, as follows, derives the word from Proto-Indo-European *(s)tewg- (“to shock, butt, impact”). The geminate -kk- is assumed based on *stukkaz (“stick”) (whence Old English stocc, Old Norse stokkr).
