Morphology
session = sess + ion
The element 'sess-' is a Latin combining form (not a standalone English word), so learners cannot reliably derive the meaning of 'session' from its parts in modern English.
Etymology
Session comes from the Latin sedere, 'to sit'. Think of it as a set time to 'sit' and do one activity, which is why we call a training or therapy meeting a session.
