chuten.¹

Brit.

/ʃuːt/, U.S.

/ʃut/

Forms: Also 1800s schute, shute.

Etymology: Here there appears to be a mixture of the French chute fall (of water, descent of a canal lock, etc.), and English shoot n.¹ The former appears to have been adopted in North America in sense 1, and the application gradually extended to include senses which originate with shoot n.¹, and are still commonly so spelt in England.

1. A fall of water; a rapid descent in a river, or steep channel by which water escapes from a higher to a lower level.
