Where this word comes from
From sette (“to set, put, place”), ultimately from Proto-Germanic *satjaną (“to set, place”), from Proto-Indo-European *sodéyeti (“to cause to sit”), the causative of *sed- (“to sit”). The intervening history of the verb is through Danish sætte and Old Danish sætiæ and sættæ. The sports, music and film senses are influenced by English set, which ultimately has the same Proto-Germanic origin.
