Etymology: From stōw (“place”), from Proto-Germanic *stōō (“place”), from Proto-Indo-European *steh₂w- (“to set, place”), from *steh₂- (“to stand”). Akin to Old Norse -stó (“place of”), Old Frisian stō (“place”), Gothic 𐍃𐍄𐍉𐌾𐌰𐌽 (stōjan, “to judge, place”). Compare the similar usage in forming toponyms in the cognate Indo-Iranian suffix -stan.
