Etymology
Derived from the noun at hand in Stad (“city; place”). Compare Middle High German bestaten (“to lead to a place; to furnish; to lend”), which is probably a loan translation of Latin locāre, and this Latin verb also means “to give a girl in marriage” (virginem in matrimonium locare). The same word, with a very different semantic development, is German bestatten (“to bury”).
