Forms: Middle English–1500s stowk, stouke, Middle English–1600s stowke, Middle English–1500s, 1700s–1800s dialect stouk, 1500s stuk, 1800s dialect stuck, 1500s– stook.

Etymology: Middle English stouk, < or cognate with Middle Low German stûke (West Flemish stuik) = High German dialect stauche feminine; formally coincident (though etymological identity is doubtful on account of the difference of meaning) with a widespread Germanic word meaning sleeve: Middle Low German stûke, Old High German stûhha (Middle High German stûche, modern German stauche), (Old) Icelandic stúka (? from German). The form stook is originally northern dialect: compare hoose/huːs/ = house. It has, however, become current in other dialects, though the regular forms stowk and stuck are also used.
