Proto-Slavic
Etymology
From Proto-Balto-Slavic *starˀgiás. Probably descending from Proto-Indo-European *sterg- (“to protect, to shield”), akin with Ancient Greek στέργω (stérgō, “to love”), στοργή (storgḗ, “affection”). Further comparable with Proto-Indo-European *(s)terg- (“to strengthen”) whence Proto-Germanic *starkuz (“stark”).
Compare also Latvian sar̂gs (“watchman, guard”), Lithuanian sárgas (“watchman, guard”), Proto-Slavic *sorgъ (“strict, watchful”).
