Where this word comes from
From Proto-Italic *sedēō, from earlier *sedējō, from Proto-Indo-European *sed-éh₁-ye-ti (*eh₁-stative), from *sed-, the same root as sīdō (“to settle, sink down”). Cognates include Sanskrit सीद॑ति (sī́dati), Old Church Slavonic сѣдѣти (sěděti), Old English sittan (English sit). The perfect sēdī was originally the perfect of the related third-conjugation verb sīdō; this can be seen in how prefixed derivatives of sīdō use sēdī to form their perfects. The same fact is also demonstrated by Umbrian cognates, which feature 𐌔𐌉𐌔𐌕𐌖 (sistu, 3sg. imp.) (from present stem *sizd-) alongside future perfect sesust (from perfect stem *sezd-).
