Proto-Slavic

Alternative forms
  • *stožarъ

Etymology

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”).
