Pronounced as (IPA)

[ĩːˈstau̯.roː]

Etymology

From in- + *staurō, from Proto-Indo-European *steh₂u-ro-, from *steh₂-. The first meaning, which was also continued in the Romance languages, was "erect", "establish". The meaning "renew" arose by applying this meaning to a structure whose stability has ceased or to an event which has ended. Compare German in Stand setzen (“to repair”), literally "to set in stand". A semantical influence of the related restaurō (“to restore”) (see there for close cognates) is also likely.
