North Caucasian etymology :

Proto-North Caucasian: *=Vmc̣_́Vr
Meaning: to stand, stand up
Notes: Reconstructed for the PEC level. The root vowel is hard to reconstruct (because of complicated and rather unclear Ablaut patterns). The medial nasal resonant has caused the change *-mć̣- > *-tt- in PN and the deglottalisation in Lak., PL and PD; its labial character can be reconstructed on basis of the PL labialisation (although the resonant itself was regularly dropped). [The root is used in several languages in a compound meaning 'stirrup', lit. 'foot'+'stand (caus.)' or '(foot)-prop'+'stand', i.e. 'a place for putting feet on'. Cf. Av. ħoṭo-č̣:el (Chad. with assimilation and distortion ħonƛ̣lóč̣), Lak. č:armuzi < *č:an-b-uzi, Darg. Chir. ṭuIr-birc:an, Arch. moʎ:ol-orc:i. The Avar word, sometimes with severe distortions, was borrowed into many EC languages: Akhv. ħoṭoč̣:a, Cham., Inkh., Tsez., Gin. ħoṭoč̣el, Cham. Gig. ħeṭeč̣ (cf. an Avar dialectal variant ħeṭeč̣:el), Gunz. ħonṭoč̣al, Bezht. Tlad. haƛso, Khosh. hacijo.]

Comments: For long *-ā- cf. Chech. pres. lätta, Ing. pret. lättad. The root reveals a complicated Ablaut pattern: a) PN *-itt- > Chech. h-itt- to stand upon , ʁ-itt- to stand up (dur.);
b) PN *-ott- > Chech. h-ott- to stand upon, ʁ-ott- to stand up (term.), Ing. ott- to become, Bacb. ott- to stand up, stop;

Zib. hirč:-, Cham. heṣ-, Gig. hinc̣- - with -n- under influence of hinz- 'to rise'), where *ħ- is possibly a preverb. The Av. form č̣:e- reflects an old Ablaut variant with dropping of initial vowel.

Udi: ajze-sun 2
Comment: Cf. also Ag. Bursh. aʕ-za- 'to stand', Tsakh. o=zar- 'to become tired' (for the semantics cf. Russ. 'стоять' - 'уставать'). In Tab. there exist two synonymous variants: ʁ-uz-uz (Düb. uʒ-us) and ʁ-ud-už̌-uz (Düb. q:-uǯ̌-us) 'stand up', reflecting probably proto-Tabasaran variants *ʔoc:V- (with secondary delabialisation) and *ʔec:ʷV- (preserving the labialisation). Note the common prefixation (*q:-) in Lezg., Tab., Ag., Kryz. and Bud. See Бокарев 1961, 65; Лексика 1971, 243; Гигинейшвили 1977, 84.

English meaning : be in, at, etc.; to exist; ('be into smth.' =) to examine
Russian meaning[s]: 1) находиться (проживать) в...; 2) быть в живых; 3) входить в компетенцию; зависеть от...; решаться (кем-л.); 4) служебный глагол обстоятельства места и времени; 5) входит в сочетания с наречиями, указывающими на область или сферу действия; 6) перед глаголами выступает как префикс продолжающегося состояния; 7) с (чьей-либо) точки зрения; 8) при повторении с последующим 則 в вэньяне остается без перевода или переводится безличной конструкцией
Shuowen gloss: 存也.從土.才聲.
Comments: In old texts occurs also with the meaning 'to examine' (Sch.: perhaps same word = 'to be into smth.'). The word is probably related to 存 *ʒ́hǝ̄n 'to be, exist' (through -n-derivation), which allows us to reconstruct an aspirated *ʒ́h- in OC (arguments for *ʒ́h- in 存 see in RDFS 99).
