Etymology
In summary
16th century, iterative of stäuben, stauben, from Middle High German stöuben, stouben (“to swirl up, raise dust”), from Proto-West Germanic *staubijan, factitive of *steuban (whence stieben). The ö-vocalism is East Central and Low German (Middle Low German stö̂ven). The sense “to browse” is in part derived through the noun Middle High German stöuber, Middle Low German stö̂ver (“small hound used for tracking”), itself from the verb above.
