Etymology: Traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *stngʰ-u-s, from a root *ste(n)gʰ- (“to stick”), and compared with Proto-Germanic *stinganą (“to sting, stick out”), Lithuanian stangùs (“fixed, stiff”), Latvian stingt (“to harden”). However, in addition to the accentuation of the Baltic terms implying a more likely proto-form of *steng-, the variant ἄσταχυς (ástakhus) could also suggest a Pre-Greek origin, which is endorsed by Beekes; see also στόνυξ (stónux, “sharp point”) and στόχος (stókhos, “erection of stone”).

However, in addition to the accentuation of the Baltic terms implying a more likely proto-form of *steng-, the variant ἄσταχυς (ástakhus) could also suggest a Pre-Greek origin, which is endorsed by Beekes; see also στόνυξ (stónux, “sharp point”) and στόχος (stókhos, “erection of stone”).",
