Syllable Decomposition

standard

from English standard, derived from Old French estandart, estandard ('flag, war ensign'), from Old Low Franconian *standhard ('stable, fixed'); the transition to the sense of 'model, standard of measurement (initially of currency or weight)' remains obscure. From this use, the term has taken on the meanings of 'model, example' and 'level, average reference value'.
