+

+ ==Pronunciation==

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

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

+

+ ==Forms==

+ '''sīdō''' (present infinitive sīdere, perfect active sīdī); third conjugation, no passive, no supine stem^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[inh|itc-pro|*sizd-e/o-|t=to sit down]], [[inh|ine-pro|*si-sd-e/o-|t=to sit down]], a reduplicated present of the root of [[m|la|sedeō|t=to sit]].^(de Vaan 2008)^(OLD 2012) Cognate with [[xum|sistu|t=to sit down]], [[sa|सीदति|tr=sī́dati|t=to sit down]] and [[grc|ἵζω|tr=hízō|t=to sit down]].^(de Vaan 2008)^(Wiktionary) De Vaan notes that its compounds are attested earlier than the simple verb.^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ De Vaan finds it first in Lucilius;^(de Vaan 2008) the earliest citation in the OLD is Lucretius, of chalk settling on the limbs.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It means to sit down, as people sitting with bent knees in Statius,^(OLD 2012) and more often to come to rest on a surface, to settle: Virgil has doves alighting on a tree,^(Lewis & Short 1879) and the OLD also uses it of boats running aground.^(OLD 2012) Lucretius uses it of plains sinking while the mountains grew, and Nepos of a ship that began to sink when rammed.^(OLD 2012) Of the wind it means to drop or abate, as in Silius Italicus when the south wind subsides, and it is used of emotions in the same way.^(OLD 2012) Lewis & Short call it poetic and post-Augustan.^(Lewis & Short 1879) The OLD assigns forms with the perfect ''sēdī'' to [[sedeō]].^(OLD 2012)
