Etymology
1. 1503, "to besiege," from L.
obsessus, pp. of
obsidere "besiege, occupy," lit. "sit opposite to," from
ob "against" +
sedere "sit." Of evil spirits, "to haunt," is from 1540.
Obsession was originally (1513) "the act of besieging," then "hostile action of the devil or an evil spirit" (1605); meaning "persistent influence or idea" is first recorded 1680.
Obsessive (adj.) formed 1911.
Obsessive-compulsive is attested from 1927.
2. From Latin obsessus, perfect passive participle of obsideō (“sit on or in, remain, besiege”), from ob- (“before”) + sedeō (“to sit”); see sit, session, etc.; compare assess, possess.
