Origins
According to De Vaan, a denominative from an adjective *stīpos (“erect, rigid”), itself from Proto-Indo-European *stéyp-os, which may also be attested in Proto-Germanic *stīfaz (“stiff”). Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *steyp- (“to be stiff, erect”). Related to stīpes (“tree trunk, stick”), stips (“small donation, alms”); cognate with Proto-Germanic *stīfaz (whence English stiff) and Lithuanian sti̇̀pti (“to stiffen”).
