Etymology
Sediu is a learned borrowing that entered Romanian in the modern era from Latin sedes/sedium, reinforced by French siège and Italian sede. All three ultimately trace to the Latin verb sedere, meaning to sit. The word shifted from a literal seat to the fixed physical location of an institution, company, or government body.
