Etymology

Possibly from (obsolete) størres (“to increase”) + -else (“act of”). The verb goes back to Old Norse stœra (“to make bigger”), from Proto-Germanic *stōrijaną, derived from *stōraz (“big, strong”). Alternatively, the Danish noun is derived directly from the adjective stor, compare tykkelse.
