The act of sitting together in a court or formal assembly, or holding office together.
From 'co-' (together) and 'session' (a sitting), from Latin 'sessio.' This legal/formal term refers to the joint act of assembling or the state of sitting together in an official capacity.
The word 'session' comes from the same Latin root as 'sit,' which is why 'sedentary' (sitting still) and 'sediment' (what settles) share that 's-e-d' pattern—all connected to sitting!
