英文词源


session
session: [14] Etymologically, a session is simply a ‘sitting’. The word comes via Old French session from Latin sessiō, a derivative of sedēre ‘sit’. Its sense development reflects the symbolic association of ‘sitting down’ with the conducting of business, which can be seen anew in the modern English expression get round a table. Other English descendants of Latin sedēre, which is closely related to English sit, include assess, assiduous [16], insidious [16], séance [19], sedentary [16], sediment [16], size, subsidy [14], and supersede.
=> assess, assiduous, insidious, séance, sedentary, sediment, size, subsidy, supersede
session (n.)
late 14c., "periodical sitting of a court," from Old French session "act or state of sitting; assembly," from Latin sessionem (nominative sessio) "act of sitting; a seat; loitering; a session," noun of action from past participle stem of sedere "to sit" (see sedentary). Sense of "period set aside for some activity" is first recorded 1920, in bull session, probably from quarter sessions courts (see quarter (n.)). Musical sense of "recording occasion in a studio" is from 1927.
