The answer

STAIR

What stair means

A series of steps that allow people to walk up or down between different levels of a building or structure.

Where the word comes from

From Middle English "steire," borrowed from Old Norse "stígr," meaning a step or staircase. The Old Norse word comes from Proto-Germanic "stīgaz," related to the verb "stīgan" (to climb or ascend). This root appears in German "Steig" (path) and English "stile," all tracing back to the idea of stepping upward or mounting.
