What does the Anglo-saxon root stall mean?

The Anglo-Saxon root "stall" doesn't exist as a standalone word. However, there are several words derived from Proto-Germanic roots that have evolved into modern English words with the meaning of "place" or "position":

* "Stal": This Proto-Germanic root means "place" or "position". It is the origin of words like:

* Stall (meaning a stable for horses, or a booth in a market)

* Install (meaning to set up or fix in place)

* Instalment (meaning a part of a larger sum paid at intervals)

* "Stellan": This Proto-Germanic root means "to put" or "to place". It is the origin of words like:

* Stell (meaning a place, position, or location)

* Still (meaning stationary, not moving)

Therefore, while "stall" itself isn't a standalone Anglo-Saxon root, it's connected to roots that denote "place" or "position" and contribute to the meaning of several words in English.
