Этимология (Английский)

Унаследовано от среднеанглийский: stert naked

Унаследовано от староанглийский: steort

In summary

From Middle English stert naked (steort nakt, sternaked, star naked); the first element is from Old English steort (“tail”). The change from "start-naked" to "stark-naked" was most likely by folk etymology due to a misinterpretation of the phrase as being a way of saying "starkly naked" ("strongly naked, harshly naked").
