Root Explanation

Workstation → It is formed from "work" (from Old English *weorc*, meaning activity or labor) and "station" (from Latin *statio*, meaning a standing place or position). A workstation refers to a designated place for performing work or tasks.

Think of a 'place' ('station') where you do 'activity' ('work') — that's what a workstation is.
