Nguồn gốc từ
From Middle English stinten, from Old English styntan (to make blunt) and *stintan (attested in āstintan (to make dull, stint, assuage)), from *stuntijan, from Proto-Germanic *stuntijaną and Proto-Germanic *stintaną (to make short), probably influenced in some senses by cognate, stytta (to make short, shorten).
