Latin

Pronunciation

Etymology 1

From Proto-Italic *staēō, from earlier *staējō, from Proto-Indo-European *sth₂éh₁yeti, stative verb from *steh₂-.

Cognate with Sanskrit तिष्ठति (tíṣṭhati) (root स्था (sthā)), Persian ایستا (istâ, standing; stopping), Old Norse standa, Ancient Greek ἵστημι (hístēmi), στάσις (stásis), Bulgarian стоя (stoja), Old English standan (whence English stand).

By its appearance through Latin sound laws, this stative verb, against all others of this class in the 2nd conjugation, belongs to the 1st conjugation. The perfect and supine stems are shared with sistō, the corresponding athematic verb from the same Indo-European root.

Verb

stō (present infinitive stāre, perfect active stetī, supine statum); first conjugation, impersonal in the passive

  1. to stand
    Synonym: astō
    • 29 BCE – 19 BCE, Virgil, Aeneid 2.56:
      “Troiaque, nunc stārēs, Priamīque arx alta, manērēs.”
      “And Troy, you would be standing now, and high citadel of Priam, you would remain!” – Aeneas
  2. to stay, remain
    Synonyms: cōnstō, sistō, cōnsistō, remaneō, maneō, haereō
  3. to cost, to be set at, stand at (e.g., a price)
    • 8 CE, Ovid, Fasti 4.885–886:
      stat mihi nōn parvō virtūs mea: volnera testor
      armaque, quae sparsī sanguine saepe meō.’
      “My bravery costs me no small : I call to witness my scars
      and weapons, which I have often splattered with my own blood.”

      (Mezentius replies to a request to fight for Turnus.)
  4. (Medieval Latin) to be
    Synonyms: adsum, subsum, astō, exstō
    Antonym: desum
  5. (Medieval Latin) to be
  6. (Medieval Latin) to live

Etymology 2

From Proto-Italic *(s)ta(je)-tōd (must steal), from Proto-Indo-European *(s)teh₂-, see also Hittite (tāyezzi), (tāyazzi, to steal), Old Irish táid (thief), Sanskrit तायु (tāyú, thief), Avestan 𐬙𐬁𐬫𐬎 (tāyu, thief), Ancient Greek τητάω (tētáō, to deprive), τηΰσιος (tēǘsios, deceptive, (in) vain) (Doric τᾱΰσιος (tāǘsios)).[1]

Failed to survive for its homonymy with the ordinary verb for “stand" (see Etymology 1 above).[2]

Verb

stō (singular future active imperative statōd); first conjugation

  1. (Old Latin) to steal
