Noun
stoppen
German
Etymology
Borrowed from Middle Low German stoppen, from Old Saxon *stoppōn.
As in Dutch stoppen, the sense “to stop” is figurative from water flow being stopped by plugging. Only in this figurative meaning has the form been adopted into standard German proper, under the reinforcing influence of English to stop. Doublet of stopfen.
