reside

reside
\ \ [15] The -side of reside has no connection with English side. It comes from Latin sedēresettle’ (source of English sedentary, session, etc and related to sit). Combination with the prefix re- ‘back’ produced residēresettle back, remain in place, rest’, which passed into English via its present participle as residentsettling permanently in a place’ [14]. Reside is either a back-formation from this or a borrowing from French résider. The past participle of residēre was residuus, whose neuter form residuum was used as a noun meaning ‘that which settles back’, hence ‘that which is left behind’. It passed into English via Old French as residue [14].
\ \ Cf.RESIDUE, SEDENTARY, SESSION, SIT
