"wout" meaning in Dutch

See wout in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ʋɑu̯t/ Audio: Nl-wout.ogg Forms: wouten [plural], woutje [diminutive, neuter]
Rhymes: -ɑu̯t Etymology: Unknown. Possibly from Middle Dutch waut, wout (“authority, power”), from Proto-Germanic *waldą. Related with Dutch geweld (“violence”). Another theory considers it a backformation from wauwtje, diminutive of the attested byform wauw. This could be linked, if only by conjecture, with wouw (“kite”), from comparison with a bird of prey.
