Etymology
1. 1611, from Fr.
présider "preside over, govern" (15c.), from L.
præsidere "stand guard, superintend," lit. "sit in front of," from
præ- "before" +
sedere "to sit" (see sedentary).
2. From Old French presider, from Latin praesidēre (“preside”), from pre- (“before”) + sedere (“to sit”). Displaced Old English foresittan, which might have been a calque of the Latin. See: Latin '
praesideo'.
