stands
Rises from sitting
Stands covers positions of stability and endurance.
To stand is to be upright on one's feet, or to remain in place: The offer still stands.
A stand is a position taken: her stand on immigration.
It's also a structure for holding things (music stand, nightstand) or selling them (fruit stand, hot dog stand).
A stand of trees is a group growing together.
The stands are seating areas at a stadium.
To stand for something is to represent it or tolerate it: I won't stand for that behavior.
