The answer
STUMP
What stump means
A short, thick piece of tree trunk left in the ground after the tree has been cut down, or to perplex or confuse someone completely.
Where the word comes from
From Middle English "stompe," likely from Middle Low German "stump" or Old Norse "stumpr," both meaning a short, thick piece of wood or a blunt end. The word may ultimately trace to Proto-Germanic roots related to shortness and thickness. It entered English around the 14th century and gradually came to mean both a tree trunk left in the ground after felling and, by extension, to perplex or confuse someone.
