About This Root

From Latin stāre (to stand) and sistere (to set, place, cause to stand). This combined entry covers the extended family: system (things standing together), assist (stand by), and resist (stand against). Compound adjectives like water-resistant and drug-resistant show this root's productivity in describing things that "stand firm" against forces.
