Forms: 1600s standand rowme (Scottish: see note), 1700s– standing room.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: standing n.¹, room n.¹

Etymology: < standing n.¹ + room n.¹The Older Scots form standand rowme (see quot. 1603 at sense 1) probably shows a reverse spelling resulting from the phonetic similarity (or merger) of the Older Scots reduced forms -in (-ing suffix¹) and -an (-ing suffix²), further influenced by the attributive position (very frequent for -ing suffix²).

1. Space in which to stand; accommodation provided for someone to stand, (now) esp. space for spectators at a theatre, sporting match, etc.
