Nguồn gốc từ

From Middle English ancestre, auncestre, ancessour; the first forms from Old French ancestre (modern French ancêtre), from the Latin - nominative antecessor (one who goes before); the last form from Old French ancessor, from Latin antecessōrem, accusative of antecessor, from antecēdō + --tor, from ante- + cēdō. See cede, and compare with antecessor.
