Word origin
The word 'upstairs' originated from the Middle English word 'upsteres' which combines 'up' with 'steres' meaning 'stair'. The concept of upper levels in buildings has been around for centuries, with multi-story structures becoming more common in the Middle Ages. As architecture evolved, the term 'upstairs' became widely used to refer to higher floors in a building.
