What is this word here: עוּץ?

LOL! Dude, it has multiple meanings, none of which is US.
Give the verse and number so we can see in context, and what it means in that sentence.

I am not asking about the meaning of the word.

I am asking a question about the location of a verse, to which you said there is no verse.

I can't read the Hebrew directly, but from the 4 translations I looked at, it was the ones despising that hid their own faces from him. Vs 2 refers to him as the twig, Isaiah 11:1 refers this twig as growing out of the stump of Jesse (David's father).
For reference here is the verse in the NWT (2013 Revision)
"He was despised and was avoided by men, A man who was meant for (or "who understood") pains and was familiar with sickness. It was as if his face were hidden from us. (or possibly, "He was like someone from whom people turned their faces.") He was despised, and we held him as of no account." - Isaiah 53:3
John 18:39,40 show a possible fulfillment of this verse when the mob chose Bar-ab'bas to be released instead of Jesus before his execution. Act 3:13, 14 reference the same event.
