president

Etymology
From Old French president, from Latin praesid?ns (“presiding over; president, leader”) (accusative: praesidentem). The Latin word is the substantivized present active participle of the verb praeside? (“preside over”). The verb is composed from prae (“before”) and sede? (“sit”). The original meaning of the verb is 'to sit before' in the sense of presiding at a meeting. A secondary meaning of the verb is 'to command, to govern'. So praesid?ns means 'the presiding one on a meeting' or 'governor, commander'.
