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.

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:

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 [price]: 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 [located at]
6. (Medieval Latin) to live

Passive forms exist only in the third-person singular.
