Etymology
From Middle English stīven, alternative form of stūphen (“to steep (meat in a liquid)”), from Vulgar Latin *extuphāre, *extufāre, *extupāre, from ex- + Ancient Greek τύφω (túphō, “to smoke”). Compare Scots stove (“to stew”) (whence Irish stobh), Old French estuver (“to put into hot water”), and Dutch stoven (“to stew, simmer”). See: Irish '
stobh', Old French '
estuver', Dutch '
