Etymology: Middle English stak, from Old Norse stakkr; akin to Russian stog stack and probably to Old English staca stake

2 a : an orderly pile or heap b : a large quantity or number
3 : an English unit of measure especially for firewood that is equal to 108 cubic feet
4 a : a number of flues embodied in one structure rising above a roof b : a vertical pipe (as to carry off smoke) c : the exhaust pipe of an internal combustion engine
