Etymology

Denominal from Proto-Slavic *stojь + *-iti.

The South Slavic descendants are used in parallel to the imperfective Proto-Slavic *stojati to denote punctual events. The East Slavic forms have been reinterpreted as imperfective around 18 cent., probably under the influence of Polish stać (to cost, to be worth), a calque of German kosten.

*stojiti pf (imperfective *stojati)

  1. (intransitive) to transpire, to take place/effect
  2. (transitive) to adjust, to bring in position
