Proto-Slavic

Etymology

Analyzable as *be- +‎ *sědа (“setting”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *sed- (“to sit”). The prefix is generally considered to reflect the original meaning of Proto-Slavic *be(z) (“without”), either conveying “exterior, outside” (per Vasmer) or “in complement” (per Snoj).

Further related to Proto-Germanic *hansō (“gathering, summoning, guild”), Latin cōnsidium (“meeting”), Sanskrit उपनिषद् (upaniṣad, “rite, meditation”).

Noun

*besě̀da m[1][2][3]
