Etymology
, similar to German. The Swedish/German verb / is the basis for the noun /, which can mean both upright standing (without support) and still standing (without movement or change). The still-standing meaning with umlaut and the -ig ending forms the adjective ständig. However, in some compounds (e.g. /), the same transformation is based on the upright-standing meaning.
