To stick out, project, or extend sharply beyond a surface or boundary.
Possibly from Old English 'oten' or Scandinavian origins; entered English around the 1500s with the meaning of protruding or thrusting outward.
Jut is one of those onomatopoetic-feeling words where the sharp 'j' sound mirrors the sharp action—English words often sound like what they mean, which linguists call 'phonaesthesia.'
