different between shunt vs stent
shunt
English
Etymology
From Middle English shunten, schunten, schonten, schounten, shont, shonte, shount, shounten, shunte (“to move rapidly or suddenly, jerk; to swerve, turn away; to avoid, dodge, escape, evade”), either:
- possibly a back-formation from Middle English sh?nen (“to decline to do, refuse; to abandon, forsake; to disdain, dislike, hate; to avoid, escape; to be afraid, fear; to be wary of”), from Old English scunian, scynigan; see shun. Or
- an alteration of Middle English shunden, *schunden, *schinden, from Old English scyndan, scendan (“to hasten, hurry”) (as in ?scyndan (“to remove, take away”), from Proto-Germanic *skundijan? (“to compel, drive, push; to accelerate, rush, speed up”), from Proto-Indo-European *sku(n)t-, *ku(n)t- (“to rattle; to shake”).
The English word is cognate with Danish skynde (“to hasten, hurry, speed”), Icelandic skynda, skunda (“to hasten”), Middle High German schünden (“to compel; to urge; to irritate”), Norwegian skynde (“to hurry, rush”), Swedish skynda (“to hasten, hurry; to scuttle, scurry”). Outside Germanic, compare Sanskrit ???????? (skándati, “to dart, leap, spring, spurt or burst forth, ejaculate, assail, drop, split”), Albanian shkund (“to shake; to swig”).
As regards the noun sense, compare Middle English shunt (“swerve; sudden jerk”), derived from the verb.
