cēdō

From Proto-Italic *kezdō, further derivation disputed.

• Perhaps it is from Proto-Indo-European *ḱyesdʰ- (“to drive away; to go away”). Cognates include Sanskrit सेधति (sedhati, “to drive, chase away”) and Avestan 𐬯𐬌𐬌𐬀𐬰𐬛𐬀𐬝 (siiazdat̰, “will chase away”), from Proto-Indo-Iranian *ćyazd-, *ćižd-.
• Others refer the Proto-Italic verb as from Proto-Indo-European *ḱye, adverb from *ḱe (“here”), + *sed- (“to sit”). Compare the semantics of English set out and Ancient Greek ὁδός (hodós).
• Other derive the ending from -dō (“put”).
