Etimologia (Anglès)
Possibly from a Proto-Indo-European *steh₂g- (“to seep, drip”), whence also Ancient Greek στάζω (stázō, “to drip”) (with different ablaut grade), as well as Old Breton staer (“river, brook”). Conversely, possibly related to Ancient Greek τέναγος (ténagos, “shoal water, shallows”).
