Etymology

From the preposition առ (aṙ, by, at, near) +‎ -ա- (-a-) + Proto-Indo-European *stel- (broad; to broaden) and cognate with Old Church Slavonic стеля (stelja, roof)[1]. Alternatively, from Proto-Indo-European *stel- (to put, place).[2][3][1] In fact, the two Proto-Indo-European roots may be related.
