станция

A conflation of two sources — Russian archaic стан (stan, “postal station, stage”), стани́ца (staníca, “stanitsa”) and the European words for “station” descended from Latin statio, such as Polish stacja, French station, Italian stazione, etc. Both sources ultimately derive from Proto-Indo-European *steh₂-.
