Etymology

From Ancient Greek ῠ̔́στερος (hústeros, “later”), comparative form of an unattested adjective with superlative ὕστᾰτος (hústatos, “last”) from Proto-Indo-European *údteros (“higher, outer”) from *úd (“upwards, away”) which would make it cognate with English out. Doublet of στερνός (sternós) via Byzantine Greek ὑστερνός (husternós) from syncope of ὑστερινός (husterinós).
