Etymology [edit]. From Middle French superseder â(â postpone, defer â), from Latin supersedere, from super â(â over â) + sedere â(â to sit â). The meaning âto replaceâ is from 1642, probably by association with unrelated precede â note that âcâ instead of âsâ (from cedere â(â to yield â), not sedere â(â to sit â)). As a result, supercede is a common misspelling â see therein for further discussion.
