Where this word comes from
Originally the second-person singular imperative of seistä — the meaning “stand” has turned into “stop”. This is however generally no longer considered a verb form, seeing as it has been used as such an established interjection, and consonant-stem verb forms have generally fallen out of use (note that e.g. seistä is defective in modern Finnish).
