Etymology edit
Uncertain; perhaps connected with Latin stilus (“a pointed instrument”) and containing the root *sti- (“sharp object”) also contained in Proto-Indo-European *(s)teyg- (“to be sharp, to sting”), whence Latin stinguō, Hittite [script needed] (tekan, “hoe”), English stick. Another possible connection is Avestan staēra-, taēra- m (“mountaintop”).
