What are the English derivatives of latin word sedet?

The Latin word "sedet" is the third-person singular present active indicative of the verb "sedere," meaning "to sit." It does not have any direct English derivatives in the sense of directly borrowed words.

However, its root "sed-" has given rise to several English words related to sitting:

* Sedentary: This adjective means "characterized by or requiring a lot of sitting," derived from the past participle of "sedere."

* Sedent: This adjective is less common, but means "sitting, settled, or inactive."

* Session: This noun refers to a period of time spent sitting, working, or learning, derived from the past participle of "sedere."

So, while "sedet" itself doesn't directly translate to any English word, its root "sed-" contributes to several terms related to the act of sitting.
