English

Alternative forms

• supercede, superseed (common misspellings)

Etymology

From Middle French superseder (“postpone, defer”), from Latin supersed?re, from super (“over”) + sed?re (“to sit”). The meaning “to replace” is from 1642, probably by association with unrelated precede – note that c instead of s (from c?dere (“to yield”), not sed?re (“to sit”)). As a result, supercede is a common misspelling – see therein for further discussion. Doublet of surcease.

Usage notes

Supersede is the only English word ending in -sede. Similar words include three ending in -ceed and several ending in -cede. Supercede is therefore a common misspelling of this word.
