Etymology

From Middle High German steil, steigel, from Old High German steigal, *steigil, from Proto-West Germanic *staigil (“steep”). Though native in High German, the word was rare until it was reinforced in Early Modern German by Middle Low German steil, stegel, from Old Saxon stegil, from the same Proto-Germanic source. More at English stay (“steep”).
