Etymology 1

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-.
• 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”), and Ancient Greek ὁδός (hodós, “road”).
• Others derive the ending from -dō (“to put”).

Pronunciation

• (Classical) IPA^(key): /ˈkeː.doː/, [ˈkeːd̪oː]
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /ˈt͡ʃe.do/, [ˈt͡ʃɛːd̪o]

Etymology 2

Through iambic shortening from the Proto-Italic imperative *ke-dō, plural *ke-date. This is composed of Proto-Indo-European *ḱe (“here”) (seen also in ec-ce, hi-c, illi-c etc.) + the imperative of dō (“give”) (which was originally *dō, but changed later to dā by analogy with first-conjugation verbs). Equivalent to ce- +‎ dō.

• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /ˈt͡ʃe.do/, [ˈt͡ʃɛːd̪o]
