editEtymology
editDerived from Proto-Indo-European *upo-sth₂-ó-s (“standing beneath”), from *upó (“under”) + *steh₂- (“to stand”) + *-ós (“agent suffix”).[2][3] Matasović, however, is confused at how the -o- in *uɸo- became -a- in Gaulish and Brythonic.[1] However, Schrijver believes that in Brythonic, sequences of *wo regularly split into *wa and *wo depending on whether the *w was lenited; in this case, the vowel in the Brythonic descendants would be generalized from the lenited form. The Gaulish conversion of *wo to ua is regular.[4]
