The sense “bottom” seems to be the original one, which has developed new and unexpected meanings. Ačaṙean leaves the origin of the word open. J̌ahukyan proposes derivation from Proto-Indo-European*təpʰ-, an ablaut grade without s-mobile of *stepʰ-, a possible by-form of *stebʰ-, *step-(“post, pillar, stump; to support; to stomp on”). For this root see Pokorny, without the Armenian. Among the cognates note Sanskritस्थापयति(sthāpayati, “to put, to place; to establish”), Lithuanianstẽpinti(“to fasten”), Russianстопа́(stopá).
