Etymology

From Old Norse standa, from Proto-Germanic *standaną. The infinitive stå and present tense står, could be derived irregularly from standa, but are likely derived from an Eastern Scandinavian variant. This could have come from an unattested (Eastern) Old Norse form *stá, or from the Middle Low German form stān. Both ultimately from Proto-Germanic *stāną, which like *standaną, ultimately derives from the Proto-Indo-European root *steh₂- (“to stand (up)”). The noun derives from the verb. Compare Swedish stå, Danish stå, English stand, Latin stāre, stō. See: Old Norse Nouns 'standa', English Nouns 'stand', Latin Nouns 'stō'.
