Etymology
The word residence comes from Latin parts re- ('back') and sedere ('to sit'), so it originally meant 'to sit back' or stay in one place. Think of the simple word 'sit'; to reside is to stay living somewhere for a time, which is why residence means the act or state of living in a particular place.
