To exceed or go beyond; an archaic or obsolete verb form.
From Latin excedere (to go out, go beyond, exceed), from ex- (out) and cedere (to go). This is an obsolete English form rarely found outside historical texts.
This word is so archaic that modern English speakers wouldn't recognize it, but it's the ancestor of our modern word 'exceed'—tracking how it disappeared shows how English speakers simplified their verb forms over centuries.
