Etymology

From Middle English stonen, alteration (due to stone) of earlier stenen, from Old English stǣnen (“stony; of stone, hard as stone; stone, made of stone, built of stone”), from Proto-West Germanic *stainīn, from Proto-Germanic *stainīnaz (“made of stone”), equivalent to stone + -en. Cognate with Dutch stenen (“stonen”), German Low German stenen (“stonen”), German steinen (“stonen”).
