Origin

Middle English (in the senses 'reckless, violent' and 'intractable, obstinate'): shortening of Old French esturdi 'stunned, dazed'. The derivation remains obscure; thought by some to be based on Latin turdus 'a thrush' (compare with the French phrase soûl comme une grive 'drunk as a thrush').

‘Reckless, violent’ and ‘rebellious, obstinate’ were the early meanings of sturdy, which comes from Old French esturdi ‘stunned or dazed’. This may be based on Latin turdus ‘a thrush’, a bird that used to be associated with drunkenness, probably because it was once common to see thrushes tottering around unsteadily after eating partly fermented grapes—there is a French expression soûl comme une grive, which means ‘drunk as a thrush’.
