steady

Definitions

From Old English stede ('place, position') — the Germanic cousin of Latin's st root, both from the same ancient 'stand' source. Something steady stays firmly in its place: a steady hand doesn't move, a steady job stays put, a steady pace keeps the same place from moment to moment.
