Proto-Slavic

Etymology

[edit]

Unclear; possibly from Proto-Indo-European *(s)tep- (to trample) (whence also *tepti (to beat), *stepь (steppe)) or *(s)temp- (to stamp) (whence *stǫpa (piston, mortar)) with irregular loss of nasalization.

Vasmer, Ivanov additionally consider potential relation to Sanskrit स्थापयति (sthāpayati, to uphold, to set up) (< *sth₂- + *-op-), which has been alternatively compared with South Slavic *stopanъ (landlord), Lithuanian pãstapas (column, stand), stapýti (to stand still).
