-ਸਤਾਨ
ਪਿਛੇਤਰ -ਸਤਾਨ (Persian:ـستان -stān) ਸਥਾਨ ਜਾਂ ਦੇਸ਼ ਲਈ ਫ਼ਾਰਸੀ ਮੂਲ ਦਾ [1][2] ਸ਼ਬਦ ਹੈ। ਇਹ ਖਾਸ ਕਰਕੇ ਮੱਧ ਅਤੇ ਦੱਖਣੀ ਏਸ਼ੀਆ ਵਿਚ, ਕਾਕੇਸ਼ਸ ਅਤੇ ਰੂਸ ਵਿੱਚ ਵੀ ਬਹੁਤ ਸਾਰੇ ਖੇਤਰਾਂ ਦੇ ਨਾਮ ਮਗਰ ਲੱਗਿਆ ਹੈ; ਜਿੱਥੇ ਫ਼ਾਰਸੀ ਸੱਭਿਆਚਾਰ ਦੇ ਮਹੱਤਵਪੂਰਨ ਮਾਤਰਾ ਵਿੱਚ ਅਪਣਾਇਆ ਗਿਆ ਸੀ। ਪਿਛੇਤਰ ਹੋਰ ਵੀ ਵਧੇਰੇ ਵਿਆਪਕ ਅਰਥਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਵਰਤਿਆ ਗਿਆ ਹੈ ਜਿਵੇਂ ਫ਼ਾਰਸੀ ਅਤੇ ਉਰਦੂ ਵਿੱਚ, ਰੇਗਸਤਾਨ (ریگستان), ਪਾਕਿਸਤਾਨ , ਹਿੰਦੁਸਤਾਨ, ਗੁਲਸਤਾਨ(گلستان), ਆਦਿ।
ਨਿਰੁਕਤੀ[ਸੋਧੋ]
ਇਹ ਪਿਛੇਤਰ, ਜੋ ਮੂਲ ਰੂਪ ਵਿੱਚ ਇੱਕ ਸੁਤੰਤਰ ਨਾਂਵ ਹੈ, ਪਰ ਨਾਂਵਮੂਲਕ ਸੰਯੁਕਤ ਸ਼ਬਦਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਪਿਛਲੇ ਹਿੱਸੇ ਦੇ ਤੌਰ ਅਕਸਰ ਆਉਣ ਦੇ ਗੁਣ ਕਰਕੇ ਇੱਕ ਪਿਛੇਤਰ ਬਣ ਗਿਆ, ਭਾਰਤ-ਈਰਾਨੀ ਅਤੇ ਅੰਤ ਵਿੱਚ ਭਾਰਤ-ਯੂਰਪੀ ਮੂਲ ਦਾ ਹੈ: ਇਹ Sanskrit sthā́na (Devanagari: स्थान [st̪ʰaːna]) ਨਾਲ ਸਗਵਾਂ ਹੈ।
The Proto-Indo-European root from which this noun is derived is *steh₂- (older reconstruction *stā-) "to stand" (or "to stand up, to step (somewhere), to position (oneself)"), which is also the source of English to stand, Latin stāre, and Ancient Greek histamai (ἵσταμαι), all meaning "to stand" and ਰੂਸੀ ਭਾਸ਼ਾ стан (stan, meaning "settlement" or "semi-permanent camp"). In ਪੋਲਿਸ਼ ਅਤੇ ਯੂਕਰੇਨੀ, stan means "state" or "condition", while in Serbo-Croatian it translates as "apartment" (a Slovenian word "stanovanje" means apartment or other closed space of living is an obvious derivative of stan) in its modern usage, while its original meaning was "habitat". In Czech and Slovak, it means "tent" or, in military terms, "headquarters". Also in Germanic languages, the root can be found in Stand ("place, location"), and in Stadt (German), stad/sted (Dutch/Scandinavian), stêd (West Frisian) and stead (English), all meaning either "place" or "city". The suffix -stan is analogous to the suffix -land, present in many country and location names.
