Etymology edit

From *stogъ (stack) +‎ *-ěrъ. Most likely a descendant of Proto-Indo-European *stogʰ-[1] > Ancient Greek στόχος (stókhos, brick pillar), Lithuanian stãgaras (dry stalk) convoluted with Proto-Indo-European *stegʷʰ- (encircling) > Ancient Greek στέφω (stéphō, to encircle). Vasmer points an origin from *(s)teg- (to cover)[2] which also gave Proto-Germanic *stakô (stake), Latin toga. This derivation, however, conflicts with Winter's law. According to Trubachyov, the lemma and its derivatives ultimately come from *stojati (to stand).
