stirkn.

/stəːk/

Forms: Old English stírc, stíorc, stýrc, stýric, Middle English stirkke, styyrke, strike, Middle English–1500s strik, Middle English–1600s stirke, Middle English–1800s styrk, 1500s steirk, sterke, stierke, striack, stryk, styrke, 1500s–1600s sturke, 1600s–1800s sturk, Middle English– stirk.

Etymology: Old English stírc , stíorc , stýrc , stýric , neuter, apparently a diminutive < stéor steer n.¹ + -ic , a variant (not found elsewhere) of -oc , -uc : see -ock suffix. Compare Middle Low German sterke, starke (modern German sterke, stärke, ? from Low German), Middle Dutch, modern Dutch dialect (Gelderland) sterke, early modern Dutch stierick (Kilian, who marks it ‘Sicambrian’, i.e. Gelderland, etc.), feminine, a heifer, a cow that has not yet calved. Another diminutive formation is Middle Dutch stierken bull-calf. Kluge and Falk & Torp reject the connection with Germanic *steuro- steer n.¹, and compare High German dialect sterch ram or hog, Old High German stero (High German dialect ster ) ram, which they refer to the root *ster- of Gothic stairō feminine adjective, barren, Latin sterilis sterile adj. But the relationship of these words is obscure.

1. A young bullock or heifer, usually between one and two years old. The modern application varies in different localities. In the midland counties generally the word denotes only the female; in Scotland it is chiefly applied to the male; in northern England and Lincolnshire it is applied to either sex, often with defining word as bull-stirk, cow-, heifer-, or quey-stirk.
