You can think of standing as the picture inside stand, held still: something is up on its feet and it has not gone anywhere. A person on their feet is standing. Water that has stopped and stayed is standing. An arrangement nobody has taken down is still standing. And where a person stands in a crowd is their standing. Every use in this entry is that same picture, asked about a different thing: is it still up, how long has it been up, and how high is it.
From the word’s history
Wiktionary records two routes, both from stand. The adjective and the participle come from Middle English standynge / Old English standende, the present participle of standan, that is stand + -ing. The noun comes from Middle English standyng, from an Old English form *standung, also stand + -ing. So the two halves of this entry are the doing-form and the thing-form of the same verb.
維基詞典記了兩條路,但源頭都是 stand。形容詞和分詞來自中古英語 standynge、古英語 standende,也就是 standan 的現在分詞,等於 stand 加 -ing。名詞來自中古英語 standyng、古英語 *standung,同樣是 stand 加 -ing。所以這個詞條的兩半,是同一個動詞的「正在做」和「那件事」兩種形狀。
