+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|intercēdō|-tiō|t1=to come between, intervene]].^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)^(TLL) De Vaan lists it under [[cedo#1|alt=cēdō]] “to go, give way”, which he traces, after Lubotsky, to [[itc-pro|*kesd-e/o-|t=to go away, avoid]] and [[ine-pro|*ḱiesdʰ-|t=to drive away; go away]], comparing [[sa|सेधति|tr=sedhati|t=to drive, chase away]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ De Vaan dates it from Sisenna,^(de Vaan 2008) in whom a speaker says that neither his death nor his veto seems able to check the mad audacity of his opponents.^(OLD 2012)

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ Its first sense is the veto of a magistrate.^(OLD 2012) It is also a standing surety, a guarantee: Cicero writes to Atticus that his surety is and was ready, and speaks of promises of money in the coalitions of candidates.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) Gellius has money shown to have been paid by the intervention of witnesses.^(OLD 2012) In medieval Latin, beside the classical sense of bail, it is intercession in the religious sense and intervention in general.^(Niermeyer 1976) Church Latin glosses it intercession.^(Stelten 1995) English [[m|en|intercession]] (c. 1500), especially intercessory prayer, is from Latin.^(Etymonline)
