STUD

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 1050 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: STE-SUS
STUD . (1) A number of horses kept for the purpose of breeding, also the place or
establishment
  where they are kept; similarly, a " stud horse," a stallion, " stud. groom," the head groom of a stud, "stud-book," the
register
  containing the pedigree of thoroughbred horses. The word in Old
English
  is stod, and cognate forms are found in Icelandic and Danish, cf, also German Gestut; steed, now a literary word for horse, meant in Old
English
  (sleda) a stud-horse, and is the same as stud in origin. The root to which the word is referred is sla-, to stand. A stud meant, therefore, an
establishment
 . (2) A word which is used of many different objects, the primary meaning being a " prop " or support. The Old English word is sludu, and cognates are found in Danish, Swedish and Icelandic. The ultimate origin is also the root sta-, to stand. The
chief
  applications of the
term
  are as follows: in architecture, to a post;
quarter
  or upright in wooden partitions; to the transverse pieces of iron which strengthen the links of a chain; to a boss or knob inserted on a belt, collar, or piece of
armour
 , often decorated and forming an ornamentation; and, particularly, to a species of button, consisting of a rounded head, neck and flat base, used for fastening a collar, shirt, &c.
