The term status comes from the Latin word meaning “to stand,” which helps to clarify how the term has come to be used in sociology as constituting a basic analytic unit in a social system (society), denoting a position that an individual holds (stands) in a particular institution or social structure. The concept of status had wide currency in the post‐World War II heyday of structural functionalism (Parsons 1951), and generally referred to a collection of specific institutional rights and duties (Linton 1936). The enactment of these rights and duties, on the other hand, was considered an individual's “role,” the more dynamic aspect of status. Status passages, therefore, refer to persons passing from one status to another (e.g., from being single to married)
