Etymology of SUBSIDE

The word "subside" originated from the Latin word "subsīdere", which is formed by combining the prefix "sub-" meaning "under" or "below", and the verb "sīdere" meaning "to sit" or "to settle". Therefore, "subsīdere" originally meant "to sit or settle down underneath". Over time, this Latin term evolved into "subsidere" in Late Latin, and eventually into "subside" in English. Today, "subside" commonly refers to the action of gradually decreasing or calming down, often used to describe the lessening of intensity or magnitude of something like pain, a storm, or emotions.
