stoppen

1. Plural form of stop

Central and Low German form of stopfen, from northern Middle High German and Middle Low German stoppen. As in Dutch stoppen, the sense “to stop” is figurative from water flow being stopped by plugging. Only in this figurative meaning has the form been adopted into standard German proper, under the reinforcing influence of English to stop.
