Etymology

Derived from the verb stipt (“to become rigid, to harden”), from the same stem as stiept (“to stretch”) (q.v.); the (adjectivizing?) r (< *-ro) follows the pattern of stingt (“to harden, to stiffen”), stingrs (“firm, strong, strict”). Cognates include Lithuanian stiprùs, dialectal sti̇̀pras, Old Prussian postippin (“all”) (acc.), postippan (“all, entirely, completely”).
