Etymology

In summary

From Middle High German stān, stēn, from Old High German stān, stēn, from Proto-West Germanic *stān, from Proto-Germanic *stāną. The -h- was introduced into the spelling by analogy with sehen, in which it had become mute but was retained in spelling. Past forms are inherited from Old High German stuond, stuonden, etc. These are themselves suppletive of Proto-West Germanic *standan's past forms in *stōnd-, replacing former forms inherited from *stān in *stōþ-. Compare english stood. Their a-vocalism is due to analogy with other strong verbs such as binden (band) and finden (fand), dating back to Middle High German. See also stand.
