Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: The present στάζω can stand for *σταγ-ι̯ω and thus be a denominative of στάγ-ες. As however the relatively late ἅπ. λεγ. στάγ-ες is prob. a backformation from σταγ-όνες (Schwyzer 424) and the last relates to στάζω as τρυγών to primary τρύζω, στάζω too might be primary; to these came the other forms. -- The Latin and Celtic words compared give no indication for the prehistory of στάζω. Lat. stāgnum `through inundation arosen artificial water, sea, pool, pond' and OBret. staer `river, brook' (from * stag-rā) are rather far away because of the deviant meaning; semant. better connectable, but phonetically unclear is Welsh taen `conspersio' (IE * stagnā ?).
