Etymology

Inherited from Latin
Latin
sto
In summary

From Old Galician-Portuguese estar, from Latin stāre (“stand”). The stems estev- or estiv- found in some inflections likely come from Vulgar Latin *stēvī (perfect in -ēv-, used by some Latin second conjugation verbs), hypothetical perfect stem that displaced original Classical Latin perfect stetī. Compare the same development in Spanish estar. The present subjunctive stem estej- is by analogy with ser, sej- (which is from Latin sedēre).
