From Middle Low German stoven, related to Dutch stoven. Maybe a derivation from the noun stove (“bath, stove”) (Danish stue). Possibly both these words are loans from Romance: Old French estuver (verb), estuve (noun), from Vulgar Latin *extūfāre (“to heat”), which is a compound of ex- and Ancient Greek τῦφος (tûphos, “steam”).
