Proto-West Germanic edit

Etymology edit

Uncertain; usually cited as borrowed from Medieval Latin stupha, stufa, stupa (hypocaust, stove, heated room), compare Italian stufa (stove), Old French estuve (steam-bath), from Vulgar Latin *extuphāre, *extufāre, *extupāre, from ex- + Ancient Greek τύφω (túphō, to smoke) + -āre.[1][2][3][4] Alternatively, a native formation, from Proto-Germanic *stubō, related to *staumaz (steam), *steuban (to throw up dust), with the Latin borrowed from West Germanic. Also suggested to be derived from aestuō (to undulate; to warm).
