Etymology
From Middle Low Germanstat(“state, rank”), from Latinstatus(“fixed, set, regular”), perfect passive participle of sistō(“I cause to stand, set, place”), from Proto-Italic*sistō(“stand, place”), from Proto-Indo-European*stísteh₂ti(“to be standing up, to be getting up”), from the root *steh₂-(“to stand (up)”), and also the perfect passive participle of stō, from the same root.
From Proto-West Germanic*stadi, from Proto-Germanic*stadiz.
Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European*stéh₂tis, an extension of *steh₂- and, thus, related to stehen and Stuhl.
