Stout, Stoutness
Stout, Stoutness
stout, stoutnes: In modern English the word signifies strength firmness, corpulence, etc., but in English Versions of the Bible (Psa 76:5; Isa 10:12; Isa 46:12; Dan 7:20; Mal 3:13 with stoutness in Isa 9:9) it always means bold or proud and invariably in a bad sense; compare the German stolz, with which stout is allied.
