14. Latin sedeō
15. Latin supersedēre
16. Middle French supersederbor.
17. English supersede
18. From Middle French superseder (“postpone, defer”), from Latin supersedēre, from super (“over”) + sedēre (“to sit”). The meaning “to replace” is from 1642, probably by association with unrelated precede – note that c instead of s (from cēdere (“to yield”), not sedēre (“to sit”)). As a result, supercede is a common misspelling – see therein for further discussion. Doublet of surcease. See: Middle French '
superseder', Latin '
supersedeo'.
