[edit]Etymology
[edit]Attested since 1370 (assejar). Either from Vulgar Latin *assediare (“to besiege”) —from Latin obsidium (“siege”)— or from Latin īnsidiārī (“to lurk, to ambush”), under the influence of the synonym aseitar —from Latin assectārī (“to escort”)—.[1] Or alternatively, and given the absence of this word in Portuguese, from Old French assiéger (“to besiege”).[2]
