Origin:
The word "succeed" comes from the Latin verb "succedere," which means "to come up under" or "to take the place of." This sense of "succeeding" someone else is reflected in the original meaning of the English word, which was "to inherit."
Over time, the meaning of "succeed" expanded to include the broader sense of "to achieve or attain." This meaning is still used today, along with the more specific sense of "to inherit."
