post(n.1)'a timber of considerable size set upright,' from Old English post 'pillar, doorpost,' and from Old French post 'post, upright beam,' both from Latin postis 'door, post, doorpost,' in Medieval Latin 'a beam, rod, pole,' which is perhaps from Vulgar Latin *por- 'forth,' a variant of pro- (see pro-) + stare 'to stand' (from PIE root *sta- 'to stand, make or be firm').
Similar compounds are Sanskrit prstham 'back, roof, peak,' Avestan parshti 'back,' Greek pastas 'porch in front of a house, colonnade,' Middle High German virst 'ridgepole,' Lithuanian pirštas, Old Church Slavonic pristu 'finger' (PIE *por-st-i-).
