中英词源

steady 稳定的，稳固的

stead,位置，地方，-y,形容词后缀。

steady: steady: [16] Steady was derived from stead ‘place’, probably on the model of Middle Low German stēdig ‘stable’. This in turn went back to a prehistoric Germanic *stadigaz, a product of the same base as produced English stead. Its etymological meaning is ‘fixed in one place’.
=> stead
steady (adj.): 1520s, "firmly fixed in place or station" (replacing earlier steadfast), from stead + adjectival suffix -y (2), perhaps on model of Middle Dutch, Middle Low German stadig. Old English had stæððig "grave, serious," and stedig "barren," but neither seems to be the direct source of the modern word. Old Norse cognate stoðugr "steady, stable" was closer in sense. As an adverb from c. 1600.

Originally of things; of persons or minds from c. 1600. Meaning "working at an even rate" is first recorded in 1540s. Steady progress is etymologically a contradiction in terms. Steady state first attested 1885; as a cosmological theory (propounded by Bondi, Gold, and Hoyle), it is attested from 1948. Related: Steadily.
steady (v.): 1520s, transitive and intransitive, from steady (adj.). Related: Steadied; steadying.
steady (n.): 1792, "a steady thing or place," from steady (adj.). From 1885 as "something that holds another object steady." Meaning "one"s boyfriend or girlfriend" is from 1897; to go steady is 1905 in teenager slang.
