The term "stern" for the rear part of a ship is derived from the Old English word " styrne," which means "the back" or "the rear." This etymology reflects the stern's position at the back of the vessel, contrasting with the bow at the front. Over time, the term has been adopted in maritime terminology to specifically denote this section of a ship.
