Charlie:The vortaro gives 'estrado' as 'platform' or 'stage'Indeed it does. However, my copy of the CEED doesn't give the word "estrado" for either "stage" OR "platform" (and since the CEED doesn't go both ways, I can't look up the English translation of the word "estrado" in it).
However, since "estro" means "leader, boss, or chief", and the suffix "-ad" means (basically) the action of whatever is described by the root (the vortaro gives it's meaning as "-ation, -ing"), I would hazard that "leading" - in its noun sense, of course - is a better translation than "stage".
