Hi,
In simple terms, the Latin preposition 'super ' means over or beyond.
'sede' is from the Latin sedere - to sit.
Thus, A supersedes B means, more or less, A sits beyond B.
We see the 'sit' meaning of 'sede' more clearly in a word like 'sedentary'.
Best wishes, Clive

Hi Clive
Thanks for your explanation. What I want to know is whether there are other words ending in -sede. I hope one of the members could provide me with the answer. I've been wondering about this for a long time.
