(session)
period of activity
Etymology
'session' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'sessio', where the root from 'sedere' meant 'to sit'.
'session' came into English via Old French and Middle English from Latin 'sessio', which derived from 'sedere' ('to sit'), eventually producing the English 'session'.
Initially, it meant 'a sitting' (literally a sitting together); over time it broadened to mean 'a meeting, period of activity, or scheduled time' in various contexts.
