Etymology

Inherited from Vulgar Latin cathégra (compare Occitan cadièra, Portuguese cadeira, Lombard cadrega), from Latin cathedra (compare French chaire, whence also English chair), from Ancient Greek καθέδρα (kathédra), from κατά (katá, “above”) + ἕδρα (hédra, “chair”). Doublet of the borrowing càtedra.
