Etymology
Stud (poker) is said to take its name from the old word for a horse 'stud', because the game was popular with horse riders and stable workers; one helpful way to remember it is to think of a small, fixed group or pattern, like a team of horses. So stud poker is simply the name of that card game with some cards face up and some face down.
