Etymology edit
Of unclear origin.
Traditionally derived from a Proto-Indo-Iranian *stu- (“to coagulate, condense together”), which would be, according to Pokorny, from Proto-Indo-European *stewe- (“to get dense, tight”), and comparable to Ancient Greek στύω (stúō, “to make stiff”),[1] but the existence of this root has been called into question.[2][3] The word could easily be an Indo-Iranian substrate word instead.[4][5]
Related to स्तूप (stūpa, “tuft, mound, stupa”); see there for more potential cognates.
