Etymology 1

• From Proto-Italic *kezdō, from Proto-Indo-European *ḱiesdʰ- ‎(“to drive away; to go away”). Cognates include Sanskrit सेधति ‎(sedhati, “to drive, chase away”) and Avestan 𐬯𐬍𐬀𐬰𐬛𐬀𐬝 ‎(sīazdat̰, “will chase away”), from Proto-Indo-Iranian *ćiazd-, *ćižd-.^[1]
• Others refer to Proto-Italic *kezdō, from Proto-Indo-European *ḱie, adverb from *ḱe ‎(“here”), + *sed- ‎(“to sit”). Confer with the semantics of English set out and Ancient Greek ὁδός ‎(hodós).

Etymology 2

From the Proto-Italic imperative *ke-dō, plural *ke-date. This is composed of a particle *ke ‎(“here”) (seen also in ec-ce, hi-c, illi-c etc.) + the imperative of dō ‎(“give”) (which was originally *dō, but changed later to dā by analogy). Equivalent to ce- +‎ -do.
