• code

From Proto-Italic *kezdō, further derivation disputed.

• Perhaps it is from Proto-Indo-European *ḱyesdʰ- (“to drive away; to go away”). Cognates include Sanskrit सेधति (sedhati, “to drive, chase away”) and Avestan 𐬯𐬌𐬌𐬀𐬰𐬛𐬀𐬝 (siiazdat̰, “will chase away”), from Proto-Indo-Iranian *ćyazd-, *ćižd-.^[1]
• Others derive it from *ḱe (“this, here”) + *sed- (“to sit down”). For the semantic development "to sit down" > "to go and sit" > "to go" compare the cognates English set out, Sanskrit उपसीदति (upasīdati, “to approach”), Ancient Greek ὁδός (hodós, “road”)^[2], and Proto-Slavic *xodъ, *xoditi.
• Others derive the ending from -dō (“to put”).

Equivalent to ce- +‎ dō.
