means Sculpted figures of people, animals, or things, made to stand upright in stone, bronze, or other lasting material as a memorial or decoration.
from From Latin 'statua,' a thing set up or made to stand, from 'statuere,' to set or place — itself rooted in 'stare,' to stand. The same standing-still family gives us 'stationary,' 'status,' and 'state.' English took it through Old French 'statue.' Fittingly, the word is built from the very act a statue performs forever: standing there.
