## Latin
### Etymology 1

*s(w)ēd, the ablative singular of Proto-Indo-European *s(w)é (“self”) lengthened under phrasal stress. Note there's no hard evidence for a /w/ in Italic, which is likely taken from the possessive pronoun in other branches. The original meaning was "per se, by itself", whence "however, but" as conjunction and "without, away" as preposition, parallel to English only (“but”).
Doublet of sē as well as sed (q.v.), where the vowel shortened proclitically (or never lengthened). Cf. the semantically close vē-, which might also be a doublet with loss of /s/. Further related to suus (“one's own”).

#### Alternative forms

* sēd- (before vowels)
* se- (in seorsum, with regular shortening after loss of intervocalic /w/)
* so- (in socors, solvō)
* sō- (in sōbrius)

#### Prefix

sē-
* apart-, aside-, away-
    claudō (“to close, shut, confine”) → sēclūdō (“to shut off”)
    dūcō (“to lead”) → sēdūcō (“to lead away or astray, separate from”)
* (in a privative sense) without, lacking, wanting, -less
    cūra (“care, worry”) → sēcūrus (“free from care, easy; careless”)
    cor (“heart as the seat of vitality”) → socors (“lacking in vitality or alertness, sluggish, inactive, dull”)

##### Derived terms
#### See also

* vē-
* dis-

### Etymology 2

From sex before voiced consonants with voicing assimilation (*segz-) followed by regular elision with compensatory lenthening, for which cf. āla, vēlum.

#### Prefix

sē-
* six- as a bound morpheme
    ‎sex + ‎decem (“ten”) → ‎sēdecim (“sixteen”)
    sex → sēnī (“six each”)
