The place or role of someone or something, especially when being filled by a substitute or replacement.
Where the word comes from
From Old English *stede*, meaning "place" or "site," related to Old Saxon *stedi* and Old Norse *staðr*. These all descend from Proto-Germanic *stadiz*, ultimately from an Indo-European root meaning "to stand" or "to place."
