Etymology
From Middle Dutch store, from Old Dutch sturo, from Proto-West Germanic *sturjō, from Proto-Germanic *sturjô (“sturgeon”). Of obscure origin, but possibly related to the root of stir. Other theories trace it to a lost pre-Indo European language of Scandinavia. Cognates include Old High German sturio and Old English styria and more remotely Russian осётр (osjótr, “sturgeon”), Lithuanian eršketras.
