Etymology. From PIE *sth₂-ih₂ (feminine suffix -ih₂ applied to the root of Latin 'stāre' to stand, or related to Latin 'ista' that woman). The word's root sense is likely 'she who stands' or a feminine agent noun. Cognates appear in Latin 'ista' (that woman) and Sanskrit 'strī' (woman), though the exact morphology is uncertain. The double-i spelling (itthī) reflects gemination common in Pali feminine formations.
