estoquer

French

Etymology

From Middle French estoquer, from Old French estoquer, estochier ("to thrust, strike, stab"; compare Old French estoc (“a rapier”)), probably from Middle Dutch stoken (“to jab, thrust, poke”) or Middle High German stoken (“to jab, pierce”), both ultimately from Proto-Germanic *stukōną (“to be stiff, push, thrust”), from Proto-Indo-European *(s)teug- (“to beat, push”). More at stoke.
