Relating to or measured by an estada, an old Spanish unit of linear measurement equal to about 1.67 meters.
From Spanish 'estadal,' derived from 'estada' (a measure of length), ultimately from Latin 'status' (standing, position).
Before standardized metric measurements, every region had its own quirky units—an estadal in Spain wasn't the same as a yard in England, making medieval commerce a constant headache for merchants!
