Origin of Astand
-
From Middle English astandan, from Old English āstandan (“to stand up, stand forth, rise up, rise, continue, endure”), from Proto-Germanic *uzstandaną (“to rise, stand up”), equivalent to a- + stand. Cognate with Middle Low German erstān (“rise, get up, secure”), German erstehen (“to purchase, secure”), Gothic [script?] (usstandan, “to rise, set out, be resurrected”). In some senses, prefix a- appears to represent and- (compare Middle English anstanden (“to resist”)), at-, on-.
