Etymology

Inherited from Old Galician-Portuguese esteo, either:

• borrowed from Old French estai, ultimately from Proto-Germanic *stagą (Can this⁽⁺⁾ etymology be sourced?)
• inherited from Latin stilus. (Can this⁽⁺⁾ etymology be sourced?) In this case, it is a doublet of estilo and style.

Cognate with Galician esteo.
