residente

/resiˈdente/ · B1 · adj

residing, domiciled, living, resident

🏠 Same as English resident: Latin re- (back) + sedere (to sit), so one who stays

Residente comes from Latin residere, to stay behind or settle, built from re- (back) and sedere (to sit). A residente is someone who has sat down in a place to live there. Stress falls on -DEN-: re-si-DEN-te.
