Etymology (EN): M.E. set(t)len, O.E. setlan “to place,” derivative of setl “a seat; stall; position, abode;” related to sittan “to sit,” from Proto-Germanic *setla- (cognates: Middle Low German, Middle Dutch setel, Dutch zetel, German Sessel, Gothic sitls), from PIE *sedla- (cognates: L. sella “seat, chair,” O.C.S. sedlo “saddle,” O.E. sadol “saddle”), from root *sed-.

Etymology (PE): Niyâšidan, from Yidghda niâst- , Munji niôst- “to sit down;” Nâini âš-/âšis- “to become seated;” Baluci ništ, related to nešastan “to sit down,” → sit (see also → reside); ultimately from Proto-Ir. *had- “to sit, be setaed.”
