📚 Etymology▼
The verb 'estar' comes from the Latin verb *stāre*, meaning 'to stand.' This gives it a sense of temporary location or posture, which is why it contrasts with 'ser' (from Latin *esse*, meaning 'to be' permanently). The future tense forms like 'estarás' are built regularly off the infinitive.
First recorded: Old Spanish (around the 10th-11th centuries)
