[edit] Etymology
From Old French estout (“‘brave, fierce, proud’”), earlier estolt (“‘strong’”), from West Germanic *stult- (“‘proud, stately’”); cognate with Dutch stout 'bold', M.Lower German stolt (“‘stately, proud’”), German stolz (“‘proud, haughty, arrogant, stately’”)), from PIE base *stel- (“‘to put, stand’”). Meaning "strong in body, powerfully built" is attested from c.1386, but has been displaced by the (often euphemistic) meaning "thick-bodied, fat and large," which is first recorded 1804. Original sense preserved in stout-hearted (1552). The noun "strong, dark-brown beer" is first recorded 1677, from the adjective.
