Etymology 1

From Middle High German stüre, störe, store, from Old High German sturio, sturo, from Proto-West Germanic *sturjō, from Proto-Germanic *sturjô.

Cognate with Dutch steur and Latin sturio (a Germanic borrowing), whence English sturgeon. The ö-vocalism is expected in Middle Low German stȫre as well as in parts of East Central German, but it appears elsewhere too. This might be explained as a compromise form between Middle High German stüre and store, which latter shows lack of umlaut and a-mutation instead.
