Etymology
From praesidens: (accusative: praesidentem:). The Latin word is the substantivized present active participle of the verb praesideo:. The verb is composed from prae: and sedeo:. The original meaning of the verb is 'to sit before' in the sense of presiding at a meeting. A secondary meaning of the verb is 'to command, to govern'. So praesidens: means 'the presiding one on a meeting' or 'governor, commander'.
