词源

"Middle English： probably from steorra ‘star’ + -ＬIＮＧ （because some early Norman pennies bore a small star）. Until recently one popular theory was that the coin was originally made by Easterling moneyers （from the ‘eastern' Hanse towns）, but the stressed first syllable would not have been dropped."
