In Middle English, the word "sturk" referred to the stem or trunk of a tree, specifically the portion left standing after felling. It can be derived from the Middle English word "sterk" or "styrk", which came from the Old Norse "stǫrkr", meaning "strong", "stout", or "solid".
The Old Norse term "stǫrkr" itself can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "sturkaz", also meaning "strong" or "stout". This word is related to other Germanic languages: Old High German "sturc" and Old English "styrc" which meant "bull" or "steer".
