Etymology

[edit]

*s(w)ēd, the ablative singular of Proto-Indo-European *swé (self) lengthened under phrasal stress. Original form preserving the inherited /d/, which has been reinterpreted as hiatus-filler, but lost otherwise in all cases of long vowel preceding final /d/, such as other ablatives.

Doublet of as well as sed, where the vowel shortened (or never lengthened).

Prefix

[edit]

sēd-

  1. Prevocalic form of sē-
    sēd- + ‎itiō → ‎sēditiō
