Where this word comes from
From Vatikanet (“the Vatican”) + stat (“state”), with the first element in compound form and the second element in the definite singular, literally “the Vatican state”. The first element is ultimately from Latin Vātī̆cānus (“Vatican Hill”), of unknown further origin; the connection with vāticinārī (“to prophesy”) is folk-etymological. The second element derives from Middle Low German stat (“state, rank”), from Latin status (“fixed, set; state, condition”), the perfect passive participle of Latin sistō (“to cause to stand, set, place”), from Proto-Italic *sistō (“to stand, place”), from Proto-Indo-European *stísteh₂ti (“to be standing up, to be getting up”), ultimately from the root Proto-Indo-European *steh₂- (“to stand”). Compare the parallel formations Danish Vatikanstaten, Swedish Vatikanstaten, German Vatikanstadt, Dutch Vaticaanstad and Finnish Vatikaanivaltio (“Vatican City”).
