覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 stay に三人称単数現在の -s が付いた形で、母音の後なので語尾は /z/ と発音します。主語が he、she、my aunt、the guest など単数のときに使い、stays at a hotel、stays with family、stays in a room のように前置詞も一緒に覚えましょう。「その場にとどまる」が滞在の核です。
Stays is the third-person singular present form of stay. Add -s when the subject is he, she, or another singular noun; after the vowel sound in stay, the ending is pronounced /z/: /steɪz/. Keep the central picture of someone remaining in one place for a period of time. Learn the prepositions with the verb: stays at a hotel, stays with family, and stays in a room. These combinations make it easier to describe where someone lodges or spends a temporary visit.

彼は週末、家族のところに滞在します。

stays の語源・成り立ち Etymology
この意味の stay は、ラテン語 stare「立つ」から古フランス語 ester を経て英語に入った語で、「立ち止まる」感覚から「とどまる・滞在する」へ発展しました。語尾の -s は三単現で、state や station も同じ stare 系なので、「立つ」が核だと分かります。
Stays is formed from stay plus the third-person singular ending -s. In the sense “remain or reside temporarily,” stay is historically connected through Old French ester with Latin stāre, “to stand.” The notion of standing in place developed into stopping, remaining, and spending time somewhere. English words such as state and station also ultimately reflect the same Latin root, though their modern meanings and routes into English differ.
