"Stau" meaning in German

See Stau in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ʃtaʊ̯/ Audio: De-Stau.ogg
Rhymes: -aʊ̯ Etymology: 18th century, from Low German Stau, from Middle Low German stouw, stouwe (“weir”), probably a back-formation from stouwen (“to stop, dam”), from Old Saxon *stōwa, from Proto-West Germanic *stōu, ultimately derived from Proto-Germanic *stōō (“place”). Cognate with Dutch stuw. Alternatively the Dutch and Low German forms could be inherited from the Germanic noun (like English stow), but the sense makes a new deverbal derivation more likely.
