Etymology 2

From Middle Low German stoven, related to Dutch stoven. Maybe a derivation from the noun stove (bath, stove) (Danish stue). Possibly both these words are loans from Romance: Old French estuver (verb), estuve (noun), from Vulgar Latin *extūfāre (to heat), which is a compound of ex- and Ancient Greek τῦφος (tûphos, steam).

Verb

stuve (past tense stuvede, past participle stuvet)
