In English I guess we have understand and withstand. And used to have words like counterstand and overstand.

While thinking about this I had a curious thought that maybe the word "against" derives not just from "agegn" but from a two word phrase "agegn standan". Google is not helpful. Claude AI suggests that the "st" ending actually developed later, likely through analogy with other prepositions ending in "-st" like "amongst" and "whilst."

Abstand, Widerstand, Vorstand, Mittelstand, probably the list can be continued.

Some seem to have an obvious explanation, for other it feels long-sought and more obscure. I would not over-interpret words.

Wiederstand - resistor
