Where this word comes from

Ultimately from sedeō (“to sit”) + -ēs, though Latin and Proto-Italic did not productively form nouns from verbs by changing the vowel grade. The word's lengthened grade is similar to Proto-Germanic *sētiją (“seat”), and ultimately they likely have a common origin, though divergence in the suffixes leaves the exact ancestral protoform obscure.
