Origin

Middle English (in the sense 'state or condition'): from Old French estat, from Latin status 'state, condition', from stare 'to stand'.

Estate and its shortening state (Middle English) are the same word, both going back to Latin status (late 18th century) ‘state, condition’. The sense of estate for ‘property’ comes from a late Middle English development via the idea of ‘state of prosperity’. See also press
