词源：
stumble (v.)c. 1300, stomblen, “to trip or miss one’s footing” (physically or morally), probably from Old Norse (compare dialectal Norwegian stumla, Swedish stambla “to stumble”), and probably from a variant of Proto-Germanic *stam-, source of Old English stamerian “to stammer,” German stumm, Dutch stom “dumb, silent” (compare stammer (v.)). Middle English Compendium compares Middle Dutch stommelen “to overturn” (transitive).
It might have been influenced in form by stumpen in its original sense of “to stumble” (see stump (v.)), but the unetymological -b- may be purely euphonious.
The sense of “blunder or hesitate in speaking” is from early 15c. The meaning “move in an unsteady or staggering manner” is from mid-15c. The meaning “to come (upon) by chance” is attested from 1550s. Related: Stumbled; stumbling. Wycliffe has transitive stumble down “bring (someone) to ruin, destroy (something).”
Stumbling-block “a cause of stumbling, that which is a difficulty in one’s way” is by 1526 (Tyndale), used in Romans xiv.13, where usually it translates Greek skandalon (compare scandal). Originally moral; as “obstacle to belief or understanding,” 1590s.Related entries & more
下面是词源的翻译（机器翻译比较难翻，参考着看）
绊倒 (v.)c. 1300, stumblen,“绊倒或失足”（身体上或道德上），可能来自古挪威语（比较挪威方言 stumla，瑞典语 stambla“绊倒”），可能来自原始日耳曼语 *stam- 的变体，来源古英语 stamerian 的意思是“结巴”，德语 stumm，荷兰语 stom 的意思是“哑巴，沉默”（比较 stammer (v.)）。中古英语纲要将中古荷兰语 stommelen 与“推翻”（及物）进行比较。它在形式上可能受到了stumpen的影响，其原始含义是“绊倒”（见stump (v.)），但非词源学上的-b-可能纯粹是悦耳的。 “说话时犯错误或犹豫不决”的感觉是从15世纪早期开始的。 “以不稳定或摇摇欲坠的方式移动”的意思是从 15 世纪中期开始的。 “偶然到来”的意思从 1550 年代就得到了证实。相关：绊倒；绊倒。威克利夫有及物动词“使（某人）毁灭，摧毁（某物）”。绊脚石“绊倒的原因，是一个人路上的困难”是1526年（Tyndale）出现在罗马书第十四章第13节中，通常翻译为希腊语skandalon（比较丑闻）。本来就是有道德的；作为“信仰或理解的障碍”，1590 年代。相关条目及更多
