Etymology[edit]
Possibly ultimately from Byzantine Greek στέριφος (stériphos). Alternatively, it may be derived from Vulgar Latin *exstirpus or *extirpus, from Latin extirpo (“I root out”)
Compare Romanian sterp, Albanian shterp, shterpë, probably from the same source, and Venetian sterpa, Friulian sterpe.
Adjective[edit]
