Origin of the word stately

"Stately" comes from the Old English word "stætig," meaning "firm," "steadfast," or "stable." Over time, this evolved into "stately," which originally referred to something that was physically strong and immovable. By the late Middle Ages, "stately" took on its current meaning of dignified, majestic, and impressive, often describing buildings, people, or events that conveyed a sense of grandeur and importance.
