Etymology of STEERE

The word "steere" is a variant spelling of the word "steer", which originates from Old English "stēor", meaning "the act of steering or controlling a ship". Its noun form, "steor", evolved from the Proto-Germanic word "*steuraz". This word is derived from the Proto-Indo-European root "*steyh₃-", which means "to set in motion" or "to lead". The word "steer" has since been extended in meaning to refer to controlling or guiding anything, not just ships.
