From earlier *stojěti, from Proto-Balto-Slavic *stajḗˀtei, from Proto-Indo-European *steh₂- (“to stand”) + *-ěti.

Perhaps a denominal stative (called "essive" in LIV^[1]) derived from an earlier participle stem or from a "Balto-Slavic stative derivative"^[2]^[3] related to the original Proto-Indo-European *-éh₁ti stative suffix. Parallel to Proto-Slavic *stajati.

Cognate with Proto-Italic *staēō.
