Where the word comes from

Etymology tree Proto-Indo-European *(s)teyg- Proto-Germanic *stikanąder. Proto-Germanic *stukkaz Proto-West Germanic *stokk Old English stocc Middle English stok English stock From Middle English stok, from Old English stocc, from Proto-West Germanic *stokk, from Proto-Germanic *stukkaz (“tree-trunk”). Modern senses are mostly referring either to the trunk from which the tree grows (figuratively, its origin and/or support/foundation), or to a piece of wood, stick, or rod. The senses of "supply" and "raw material" arose from a probable conflation with steck (“an item of goods, merchandise”) or the use of split tally sticks consisting of foil or counterfoil and stock to capture paid taxes, debts or exchanges. Doublet of chock.

From Italian stoccata.
