Etymology[edit]
From Old Swedish stinder. Cognate of Old Norse stinnr, Danish stind, Middle Low German stīde, Middle Dutch stīde, Old Frisian stīth, Old English stīþ, English stith (“strong; stiff; rigid”). Further origin beyond Germanic languages disputed. Arguably related to stone or Ancient Greek στενός (stenós, “narrow; tight”).
