From Middle English astandan, from Old English ?standan (“to stand up, stand forth, rise up, rise, continue, endure”), from Proto-Germanic *uzstandan? (“to rise, stand up”), equivalent to a- +? stand. Cognate with Middle Low German erstân (“rise, get up, secure”), German erstehen (“to purchase, secure”), Gothic ????????????????????????????????????
