Unable to reproduce or procreate; barren · germless, sterile; free from all living or viable microorganisms.
köken: Inherited from Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (stlwn' /starwan/, “barren, childless”), perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *str̥-wénts (“barren, sterile”). A common folk etymology derives it from ستر (satar), variant of استر (astar, “mule”), because mules can’t reproduced.
köken: ank- + -ea with a root borrowed from Proto-Norse [Term?] (compare Old Norse ǫngr), or alternatively from ank- + -ea, by replacing the apparent -ra in ankara with the adjectival suffix -ea.
köken: From some extension of *kelh₂- (“to strike, cut”), leading to derivatives meaning "broken or cut off," see also Russian колдыка (koldyka, “lame”) and Ancient Greek κολοβός (kolobós, “curtailed, broken”); the root is also the ultimate source of English halt.
aile: claudaster, claudeō, claudicō, claudīgō, clauditās, Claudius
From Middle High German œde, ōde, from Old High German ōdi, from Proto-West Germanic *auþī (“empty, barren”), from Proto-Germanic *auþijaz, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂ewtyos (“forlorn, deserted”), from Proto-Indo-European *h₂ew (“away from”).
