Wiktionary
Pronunciation: /ˌsuːpəˈsiːd/ / /ˌsupɚˈsiːd/ / /ˌsʉːpəˈsiːd/
noun
Etymology: From Middle French superseder (“postpone, defer”), from Latin supersedēre, from super (“over”) + sedēre (“to sit”). The meaning “to replace” is from 1642, probably by association with unrelated precede – note that c instead of s (from cēdere (“to yield”), not sedēre (“to sit”)). As a result, supercede is a common misspelling – see therein for further discussion. Doublet of surcease.
- An updated newsgroup post that supersedes an earlier version.
“Rogue cancels and supersedes are being issued on a large scale against posters.”
