Etymology

The noun **décidé** comes from the past participle of *décider*, itself borrowed from Latin *decidere* “to decide, to cut off, to settle.” In Old French the participle *décidé* already carried a substantive sense of “a settled or decided person,” and over time the noun form stabilized in the sense of “one who is firm in will, determined.” The term thus traces its roots directly to Latin *decidere*, with no intermediate Greek influence, and has retained the same core meaning through the evolution of French.
