Word origin

The word 'stance' originated from the Middle English word 'staunce', which in turn came from the Old French word 'estance'. The Old French word had its roots in the Latin word 'stantia', meaning 'a standing'. Over time, 'stance' evolved to encompass both physical and metaphorical meanings, reflecting a person's position or perspective on various issues.
