### Etymology 1

From Middle Dutch stap. Possibly from the same Germanic form from which English step derives (Proto-Germanic *stapiz) but with the vowel reverted to -a- by analogy with the verb stappen; alternatively from a closely related form that was not subject to i-umlaut. This etymology is incomplete. You can help Wiktionary by elaborating on the origins of this term.
