different between supersede vs preempt
supersede
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.
