Where this word comes from

From Proto-Finnic *ostadak (compare Estonian ostma), derived from Proto-Finno-Ugric *wosa (compare Komi-Zyrian вуз (vuz, “tax”)) with -taa; in turn, the root might possibly be borrowed from Proto-Indo-Iranian *wasaH. * (to buy, believe, accept (a story, etc.)): Semantic loan from Swedish köpa, perhaps also (recently) reinforced by English buy.
