Origin:
The word "sit" has been part of the English language for over a thousand years. It is thought to have originated from the Proto-Indo-European root "sed-", which also gave rise to the Latin "sedere" (to sit) and the Sanskrit "sad-" (to sit).
The Proto-Germanic form "setjan" evolved into the Old English "sittigan", which was used both as a verb and a noun. In Middle English, the noun form "sitting" emerged, meaning "the act or posture of sitting".
The word "sit" has remained in widespread use throughout the history of the English language and continues to be an essential part of our vocabulary today.
