Etymology
From Proto-Indo-European *storo- (“starling”) or *(s)tern- (“starling”), same ultimate source as Old Prussian starnite (“gull”), English starling. Traditionally, perhaps spuriously, associated with Ancient Greek ψάρ (psár, “starling”), cognate with English sparrow through an etymon with similar sound. See: English Nouns '
starling', Ancient Greek Nouns '
ψάρ', English Nouns '
sparrow'.
