Pronunciation: /d͡ʒuːt/ / /juːt/

noun

Etymology: From Latin plural Iuti, Iutae (in Bede), from Old English Ēotas. Ultimately from Proto-West Germanic *eut, from Proto-Germanic *eutaz, *eutaniz. The spelling was later influenced by Medieval Latin Jutae, Juti.

  1. A member of the Germanic tribe that existed in modern-day Denmark that invaded England about the same time as the Angles and the Saxons in the beginning of the Middle Ages, but were eventually integrated by the time of the Norman Conquest.

    “No Jute is left to wield a sword to save this hoard. No one is left to swing the battle-ax skyward.”
