Root Explanation

Stage → The word 'stage' comes from Old French 'estage' (meaning a platform or a place to stand) and is derived from Latin 'stare' (meaning to stand). It refers to a raised platform where performances occur, hence the term stage.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'platform' where actors 'stand' to perform — that's why 'stage' refers to a place for performances.
