+ ==Pronunciation==

+ * Classical: [rɛˈsiː.doː]^(Wiktionary)

+ * Ecclesiastical: [reˈs̬iː.do]^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Forms==

+ '''resīdō''' (present infinitive resīdere, perfect active resēdī, supine resessum); third conjugation, no passive^(Wiktionary)

+ A perfect ''resīdī'' occurs in the ''Octavia'' ascribed to Seneca.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|re-|sīdō|t2=to sit down, settle]].^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)^(TLL) De Vaan derives ⟨sīdō⟩ from [[itc-pro|*sizdō|alt=*sizd-e/o-]] and [[ine-pro|*sísdeti|alt=*si-sd-e/o-|t=to sit down]], a reduplicated present of the root of [[sedeō]], cognate with [[sa|सीदति|tr=sī́dati]] and [[grc|ἵζω|tr=hízō|t=to sit down]]; he notes that compounds such as this one are attested earlier than the simple verb.^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ De Vaan dates it from Plautus,^(de Vaan 2008)^(Köbler 2010) whose ''Asinaria'' has “come now, sit down” at a meal.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ From “to sit down” (of birds, to perch) it came to mean to take up a position, to encamp or settle as a colonist, and of things to come to rest or lodge somewhere.^(OLD 2012) Its commonest use is “to sink back, subside”: Cicero writes of mountains sinking down and rivers drying up, and Virgil of seas that swell and fall back into themselves.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) Swellings go down and winds and flames die away; feelings and activities also abate: Cicero's excessive straining of the voice had subsided, and Caesar hoped the Allobroges' minds had not yet calmed after the earlier war.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ The OLD notes that it is often confused with [[resideō|t=to remain seated]], and an inscription uses it in that verb's sense, as in “lie lightly on his bones”.^(OLD 2012)

+
