Question

I MUST PROVE MY ENGLISH TEACHER WRONG

Answer 1

no, all the rest have the suffix -cedes, I tried them with spell check just now !! guess your English Teacher was right - wish I could be there when you apologise tomorrow.....good luck!

Answer 2

First of all -sedes is not a suffix it is a verbal conjugation and your teacher smokes crack. Like Superseded. a suffix is like
-ness and -ity and -ology. She shouldn't be teaching grammar. I've studied over a dozen languages. The suffix is actually "-s" because the root verb is "to Supersede". "Super-" is a prefix. The original verb is "to sede". Which isn't a verb anymore.

Latin super, over + sedere, to sit, via Middle French superseder, originally in the meaning "postpone, defer". The meaning "to replace" is from 1642, probably by association with precede.

Intercedes, recedes are close.
Precedes also uses the same verb.

BUT you can use,
Noun
SEDES f plural

Plural of sede, headquarters

Also Sedes is one of the oldest Polish punk rock band playing since 1980

Which is old, but still a word. And it end -sedes even if that is the whole word.


More importantly, english has nothing like the acadamie francaise, to make any part of the language offical. Even Webster has no backing. So technically any word you make up that ends in sedes, and you use, becomes a part of the (your) english language and therefore exists. Ever hear of Hapax Legomenon (run that by your teacher and ask her for one example!)

And as for precedent, Some people's president George W. Bush makes up words all the time and he can do this because he is the "DECIDER". So if your teacher tells you you can't make up words, tell her you'll quit when the president quits and she isn't the "Decider" os the English Language.

Also -cedes is technically the same ending but without the phonetic morph.

If you want to be even more annoying tack on any F'in prefix you want
resupersedes
unsupersedes


There is also the pop-lingo:
Ubersedes (above and beyond supersession)
And the Ancient:
Forsedes (not to be confused with forsee)
Like you would forcede your claim to a throne. Take it before your father the king was dead. Because sede is sit, thus sitting on the throne earlier

And Subcedes (to sit under)
If A supersedes B
then B subsedes A.

Tell you teacher she is an ignorant moron for being so close minded and about a language 1,000 years older than she is and spoken by almost 1,000,000,000 people (though not all as their first language). Who is she to claim absolute knowledge of limitations on anything.

Good I hated school for this very same crap.

Answer 3

Google search: words ending sede

http://ess.nrcan.gc.ca/pubs/scipub/guide/spell/spell_e.php "Supersede is the only word ending in -sede."

Hmmm. Sorry. If you absolutely must prove your English teacher wrong: In Reader's Digest, I read about a teacher who told her class it was impossible to get a neologism put into the dictionary in a very short time. They proved her wrong--I forget what word they made up, but they got it into general use around the school, and it ended up in the dicitonary as a regional-dialect word after perhaps (4 years?).

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/supersede

[Origin: 1485–95; < L supersedēre to sit above or upon, forbear, equiv. to super- super- + sedēre to sit1]

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/proceed

[Origin: 1350–1400; ME procede < L prōcēdere. See pro-1, cede]

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=cede

Relinquish, abandon, etc.; as, to cede control.

So, the "sede" in "supersede" means to sit, and the "cede" root in "proceed" means to relinquish or abandon. So your new word will have to carry the meaning of sitting. . . .

Subsede: to sit under the desk during an earthquake drill.

Lignosede: to sit like a lump on a log.

Callisede: to sit pretty. ("Calligraphy" breaks down into Greek words for "beautiful writing.")

Answer 4

I checked thefreedictionary.com and Google and no luck, other than the following proper nouns:

Basilica di Santa Prassede
Basilica of Santa Prassede
Gerard de Sede
Ilsede
Santa Prassede
Santa Sede

Looks like it's mostly Italian saints, though Ilsede is a German town in Saxony.

Answer 5

supercede
One entry found for supercede.


Main Entry: su·per·cede
variant of SUPERSEDE
usage Supercede has occurred as a spelling variant of supersede since the 17th century, and it is common in current published writing. It continues, however, to be widely regarded as an error.

Answer 6

You piqued my curiosity--I'd love to find one, but they're all "cedes." "kwenzini" corrected you in your spelling even thought you're right! "Curious23" has given the best answer, but I'm new & can't vote. Phooey.

Answer 7

I think I remember someone in my class (back in the day) trying to that and failed.

Answer 8

Poor you, I think that your teacher is correct about that one.

Answer 9

supercedes. sorry but no cigar.
