suesco

Latin

Etymology
PIE word
*swé

From Proto-Indo-European *swe-dʰh₁-sḱ-, expanded from the reflexive pronoun Proto-Indo-European *swé (“self”) + *dʰeh₁- (“to put, place, set”), thus the original sense to "set as one's own", as in the later formed suificō.[1]

Cognate with soleō, sodālis, Ancient Greek ἔθω (éthō), εἴωθα (eíōtha), ἔθνος (éthnos), ἔθος (éthos), ἦθος (êthos), Sanskrit स्वधा (svadhā) and Gothic 𐍃𐌹𐌳𐌿𐍃 (sidus).
