Etymology

From Proto-Italic *staēō, from Proto-Indo-European *sth₂éh₁yeti, stative verb from *steh₂-. Cognates include Sanskrit तिष्ठति (tiṣṭhati) (root स्था (sthā)), Persian ایستا‎ (istā, “standing; stopping”), Ancient Greek ἵστημι (hístēmi) and στάσις (stásis), Old English standan (English stand), Bulgarian стоя (stoja).

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.
