Compare also Old High German stîga (Middle High German stîge , but also stîje ) cattle-stall, which is perhaps cognate, but influenced in form by derivatives of the root *stῑg- : see sty n.1, sty v.1

Etymology: Old English stígan (stáh, stigun, stigen), a Common Germanic strong verb corresponding to Old Frisian stîga, Old Saxon stîgan, Middle Dutch stîghen (modern Dutch stîjgen), Old High German stîgan (Middle High German stîgen, modern German steigen), Old Norse stíga (Middle Swedish stîgha, modern Swedish stiga, Danish stige), Gothic steigan < Germanic *stῑg- (: *staig-) < Indogermanic *steigh- (: *stoigh-*stigh-) to go, represented by Sanskrit *stigh to step, stride, Greek στείχειν to go, στοῖχος, στίχος a row, line, Latin ve-stīgium footstep, trace. Of the weak inflection a doubtful trace appears in Old Northumbrian; otherwise it has not been found earlier than the 13th cent.
Obsolete.
1. intransitive. To ascend, mount up, rise or climb to a higher level. Said of persons and things. Also figurative. Often with up, upwards.Often used of the ascension of Christ or of Elijah (for examples see Forms). In the last quarter of the 16th cent. the verb survived only as a literary archaism, and in the 17th cent. it became wholly obsolete.
