Entsteht is the third-person singular present tense form of the German verb entstehen. The verb means to come into being, to arise, to originate, or to develop. It is used to describe processes, phenomena, or objects that emerge over time or from prior conditions. For example: Aus einer Idee entsteht ein Plan. Gor a city can emerge: Viele Städte entstanden im Mittelalter.

Etymology and related forms: entstehen is composed of the prefix ent- and the verb stehen (to stand). The combination conveys a change of state from non-being to being. The word is related to Dutch ontstaan. The infinitive is entstehen; the past participle is entstanden; the simple past (Präteritum) is entstand. The noun form is Entstehung, referring to emergence or origin, and the present participle entstehend is used in some constructions.

Usage and syntax: entstehen is an intransitive verb and typically does not take a direct object. It is often used with temporal or causal context, and with phrases such as aus + Dativ (emerge from), durch (develop through), or zu (result in). Common constructions include “etwas entsteht,” “aus etwas entsteht …,” and “Es ist entstanden” in the perfect tense. The verb can describe natural, social, technological, or cultural processes, from geological formations to organizational growth.
