Etymology
1. Inherited from Middle French étui, from Old French estui (“case, sheath”), of uncertain origin.
2. Possibly a derivative of Old French estuier (“keep, hold”), itself possibly from Vulgar Latin *studiāre, from Latin studium; or, more likely, of Germanic origin, related to Middle High German stūche (“cupping glass”). Compare Occitan estug, Catalan estoig, Spanish estuche, Portuguese estojo, Italian astuccio. See: Latin Nouns '
studium', Catalan Nouns '
estoig', Spanish Nouns '
estuche', Portuguese Nouns '
