steevev.¹

Brit.

/stiːv/, U.S.

/stiv/

Forms: Also 1600s steve, 1700s steave, stive, 1800s stave.

Etymology: Of obscure origin. Usually explained as < steeve adj. and adv., on the ground that a tilted bowsprit is ‘steeve’ or incapable of motion; but this seems unlikely. A connection with Old French estive ploughtail ( < Latin stīva) would not be improbable with regard to the sense.

Nautical.
