Friedrich Kluge2510232An Etymological Dictionary of the German Language, S — stören1891John Francis Davis

stören, vb., ‘to stir up, disturb, poke, rake,’ from MidHG. stœren, OHG. stôren (stôrren from *stôrjan, *staurjan), wk. vb., ‘to scatter, destroy, annihilate’; to these are allied North Fris. stiaren, and with gradation AS. styrian, E. to stir, but hardly the cognates of streuen. The early history is obscure.
