Etymology
Inherited from Middle Persian [script needed] (YNSḆWN-tn' /stadan/), from Proto-Iranian *staHn- (“to take”), perhaps a suffixed form of Proto-Indo-European *stnéh₂ti (“to stand”): "to cause to stand" > "to fix [a price, one's mind on something]" > "to take"? See: Proto-Indo-European '
*stnéh₂ti'.
