Etymology
First attested in c. 1140‒1160. By surface analysis, око (oko) + стоꙗти (stojati), literally “as you stand”, i.e. “without moving from your place”, “without performing any intermediate actions” ‒ hence the meaning “immediately”.
Perhaps this is a calque of Medieval Latin stante pede (literally “with one's foot standing still”). See како стоꙗ (kako stoja) for more details.
