stivale

See also: Stivale

Italian

Etymology 1

Borrowed from Old French estival, of which the etymology is disputed: either from Medieval Latin aestivālis (“summerly”), in place of Classical Latin aestīvus (whence also Italian estivo), from aestās (“summer”), or from tībiālis (“tibial, of the tibia”), from tībia. Cognate with Sicilian stivala.
