Etimologia (anglès)

From the Old French adjective ancestrel, from the noun ancestre (“ancestor”), from Late Latin antecessor (“predecessor”), an agent noun from the past participle stem of Latin antecedere (“to proceed”), from the prefix ante- with the infinitive cedere (“to go”), the former from Proto-Italic *kezdō (“to avoid or to go away”), from the Proto-Indo-European *ked- (“to yield or to go”).
