Etymology
From Old Danish thiur, from Old Norse þjórr (“bull”), from Proto-Germanic *þeuraz. The West Germanic languages have a form with s-: English steer, Dutch stier and German Stier. These Germanic words seem to be related to Latin taurus (“bull”) and Ancient Greek ταῦρος (taûros, “bull”), which may go back to Proto-Indo-European *(s)táwros (*(s)téh₂wros). However, the vocalism of the Germanic words is problematic. Furthermore, the similarity with Proto-Semitic *ṯawr- (“bull, ox”) suggests that the word is a wanderword. See: Old Norse Nouns '
