語源 4
From Middle English set, sete, sette (“that which is set, the act of setting, seat”), from 古期英語 set (“setting, seat, a place where people remain, habitation, camp, entrenchment, a place where animals are kept, stall, fold”) and 古期英語 seten (“a set, shoot, slip, branch; a nursery, plantation; that which is planted または set; a cultivated place; planting, cultivation; a setting, putting; a stopping; occupied land”), related to 古期英語 settan (“to set”). Compare Middle Low German gesette (“a set, suite”), 古期英語 gesetl (“assembly”). According to Skeat, in senses denoting a group of things or persons, representing an alteration of sept, from Old French sette (“a religious sect”), from Medieval Latin secta (“retinue”), from Latin secta (“a faction”). See sect. It is quite possible that the modern word is more of a merger between both, however.
