Nguồn gốc từ
ine-pro The adjective is derived from Late Middle English sedate (not painful or sore), and directly from its etymon Latin sēdātus (calm, quiet, composed), participial adjective from sēdō (to allay, appease, calm, settle; to end, stop), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *sed- (to sit). Compare English -ate.
