köken: From Middle High German stap, stab, from Old High German stab, from Proto-West Germanic *stab. Cognate with English staff, Dutch staf, Swedish stav, Old Norse stafr. The meaning co-workers is secondary: in the German word Generalstab (“General Staff”) the meaning changed from the staff as a symbol of authority to the group of military officers and later to any group of co-workers.

köken: Uncertain. Traditionally, the term is derived from earlier *wizgā, itself from Proto-Indo-European *wis-g-, an extension of *weys-. De Vaan suggests a possible connection with Germanic forms such as Old Norse visk or Old English wisc, perhaps also entailing a PIE form of the shape *wis-g-. The term might be related to Latin vireō and virāgō.
köken: From a substrate language, perhaps from the same origin that carba and carballo; possibly from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kr̥-wós (compare Latin curvus, "bent").
