+ '''sēditiōsus''' (feminine sēditiōsa, neuter sēditiōsum, superlative sēditiōsissimus); first/second-declension adjective^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is formed from [[m|la|sēditiō|t=violent discord, rebellion]] with the suffix [[m|la|-ōsus]].^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(Wiktionary) De Vaan lists ⟨sēditiō⟩ among the compounds of [[m|la|eō|t=to go]], with the prefix ⟨sēd-⟩ “apart”, from [[itc-pro|*ei-]] and [[ine-pro|*h₁ei-|t=to go]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ Cato in a speech has “he began to speak seditious words”;^(OLD 2012) de Vaan dates it from Varro,^(de Vaan 2008) Köbler from Cicero.^(Köbler 2010)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It is given to or guilty of rebellion or mutiny, factious, as Cicero's states that put seditious men in charge, and of words and acts seditious, as in Cato.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) Of times and conditions it is full of civil strife or turbulent, as Cicero's clever men who left a turbulent life for quiet study.^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary) Wiktionary adds quarrelsome and troubled.^(Wiktionary)

+

+ Church Latin glosses it “seditious, factious, mutinous, turbulent”, and as a noun “conspirator”;^(Stelten 1995) Köbler finds it in councils, formulae and the Bavarian law code.^(Köbler 2010) Döderlein makes ''sēditiō'' a political commotion arising from clear differences of opinion, unlike ''turbae'' and ''tumultus'', which disturb public order and peace.^(Döderlein 1874) English ''seditious'' (mid-15th century) is from it, partly through Old French.^(Etymonline)
