Ancient Greek

From the root of στείχω (steíkhō, “walk, march, go or come, march in line or order”), from Proto-Indo-European *steygʰ- (“to walk”).

Cognate with German steigen, English sty, stair, stile and possibly Latin vestīgō. See also στοῖχος (stoîkhos, “row in an ascending series, column”) and στίχος (stíkhos, “row, line, rank, file (of soldiers); line of poetry”).
