The answer
EXIST
What exist means
To be present or real in the world, whether physically or conceptually, rather than being imaginary or nonexistent.
Where the word comes from
From Middle English existin, derived from Old French exister, which comes from Latin existere, meaning "to stand out" or "come forth." This Latin verb combines ex- ("out") and sistere ("to stand" or "cause to stand"), itself from the Proto-Indo-European root meaning "to stand." The sense gradually shifted from physical standing to the more abstract notion of having being or reality.
