Old French

Etymology

From Late Latin or Vulgar Latin est?, from Latin st?. Forms in -ois-, -ac-, and -ui/-eü-/-i-/-ont originates from Vulgar Latin *stite?, *stati?, and *ste? (perfect *stu?), all come from Latin stit?, statum, and st?. The second- and third-singular indicative present forms indicates that the original stress are always in the last syllable, even being affected by addition of epenthetic *i- before initial consonant clusters involving -s- (stresses are in bold, st?s ? *ist?s ? estas, estais, not *ist?s ? *eistes). Compare with estre, whose later merged and resulting some forms reflecting the forms of ester.

1. to be
