stoven.¹

Brit.

/stəʊv/, U.S.

/stoʊv/

Forms: 1500s stofe, stouf(fe, stowf(f)e, 1500s–1600s stoave, stoove, 1600s stouph(e, stouve, Middle English– stove. See also stow n.³

Etymology: Old English had stofa weak masculine, hot air bath (once, as gloss on balneum ), and the related stuf-bæð (Leechdoms III. 92, 132) in the same sense. The word, however, seems not to have survived, but to have been taken up afresh in the 15–16th cent. from Middle Low German or Middle Dutch stove (feminine) (Dutch stoof ) = Old High German stuba (feminine) (Middle High German stube heated room, modern German stube sitting-room), Old Norse stofa , stufa (feminine) (Swedish stufva , stuga cottage, Danish stue room); the Scandinavian words are probably adopted < Low German The relation between the West Germanic *stuƀ- and the late Latin or Romance stūfa , stūfāre (see stew n.², stew v.², stufe n.) is uncertain.
