Where this word comes from
From bestemor (“grandmother”) + stang (“pole, rod”). Apparently so called because its traditional design—a round wooden pole with decorative wall fittings and end knobs—was associated with the type of curtain rod found in a grandmother's home. Compare oldemorstang (“curtain rod of the same traditional type”) and Swedish mormorsstång (“curtain rod of the same traditional type”).
