Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Old English 'standan' (to stand) combined with 'ord' (point of a spear or beginning), originally referring to a military flag or banner raised on a pole to serve as a rallying point. Over time, the meaning evolved from a physical fixed point of reference to an authoritative measure, norm, or requirement of quality.
