Pieces of furniture with a seat, back, and usually four legs, designed for one person to sit on.
From Old French 'chaiere,' from Latin 'cathedra' meaning 'seat' or 'throne.' The word originally referred to formal or important seats before broadening to include all sitting furniture.
The word 'cathedra' is why cathedrals are called that—the chair of the bishop (called the cathedra) was so important it named the entire building! This shows how much sitting furniture mattered in medieval times.
