Explanation

Probably came to English from the Viking raiders in the the 8th and later centuries. It originated with the Old Norse word "styra", (to steer) which became "stjorn" (steering) becoming "styrne" in Old English and thence "stern" in Middle English. The connection is that the stern is where a ship was steered from in the days of sail.

The word "bow" for the front part of a ship comes from Germanic roots. In German the word ‘Bogen’ means "bend", "bow" or "arch". In Old English this was "boga" and in Modern English "bow". Calling the front part of the ship a "bow" is because in Medieval ships the strakes (planks) of the ship had to be bent or "bowed" to make the curved or "bowed" part of the ship, a shape that cut through the water most efficiently.

The origin of the word is a combination of two ancient English words: "steor" (meaning "to steer") and "bord" (meaning "the side of a ship"). That is, the right side of the ship. This term gave rise to "starboard". Large rowing boats initially had two oars with vertical blades serving as a rudder. This made loading quite cumbersome, so it was decided to reduce it to one. Since most sailors were right-handed, this oar was placed on the right side of the stern. Hence sailors began calling the right side the side of steering control, which soon became "starboard".

All objects installed on board were numbered according to the following criterion: all those located on the port side carried even numbers, and those on the opposite side (starboard) odd numbers. It is interesting that this criterion was also put into practice on land; if we observe the numbering of houses on a street, we can see that the same method or criterion is followed.

Comes from the Dutch (the word "boom" is the Dutch word for "tree").
