Etymology
1. Origin uncertain, yet apparently cognate with Old Norse steggi (“male animal, drake”).
2. Possibly from Proto-West Germanic *stakugō, from Proto-Germanic *stakugô, *stakigô (“stag, male animal, porcupine”), from Proto-Indo-European *steg- (“pole, beam, stake, stick”), equivalent to *stac- (compare Old English staca) + -ga (diminutive suffix).
3. Alternatively, from Proto-West Germanic *stagugō, from Proto-Germanic *stagugô, *stagigô (“stag, male animal, porcupine”), from Proto-Indo-European *ste(n)gʰ- (“to prick, stick, pierce, sting”). See: Old Norse Nouns '
steggi', Old English Nouns '
staca'.
