What does the word stitious mean?

I love this question.

Ah! Perhaps if ETPro was still around, he could enlighten us.

Sigh.

“I know you can be overwhelmed, and you can be underwhelmed, but can you ever just be whelmed?”

Don’t conflate the seeming appearance of at the prefix “super-” to assume a root of ”-stitious”.

The whole word has remained pretty much contact since the classic Latin, superstitio, which was a formation of beliefs which “stood over” one.

@syz “When I read this question I was whelmed”?

Like @zenvelo said, it comes from the Latin super (“over”) and stare (“to stand”). Which makes sense since the opposite of superstition is understanding.

A stand or point of view. A position on a subject. A notion.
