Proto-Germanic

Etymology

Traditionally derived from a Proto-Indo-European *stengʰ- (“to be stiff, sting; rod, blade”), and compared with Ancient Greek στᾰ́χῡς (stắkhūs, “ear of grain”) (< *stngʰ-u-s). However, a substrate origin for the Greek is quite possible, based on the variant ἄστᾰχῠς (ástăkhŭs, “ear of corn; bandage”), which would render the Germanic without outside cognates.[1]
