stāvoklis

A word coined by A. Kronvalds in 1870, from Lua error in Module:affix/templates at line 38: The |lang= parameter is not used by this template. Place the language code in parameter 1 instead., originally to mean simply “place, location,” but later on with wider meanings, including, in the late 1870s, “point of view” (a meaning now ascribed to (deprecated template usage) viedoklis). The use of this word stabilized around the present range of meanings by the end of the 19th century.^[1]

• IPA^(key): [stāːvuoklis]
