I encountered the word by reading an article. Also it is an middle english word like the word “star.” Sterling sounded familiar to me and it sounds like steering. Sterling is something that is better and steering is like changing. I assumed steering and sterling almost has the same meaning because they both have changes.
Example: A sum of 20 millions sterling was voted as compensation to the planters.
