单词 | supersede |
释义 | supersede/ˌsuːpəˈsiːd /verb [with object] Take the place of (a person or thing previously in authority or use); supplant: the older models of car have now been superseded...
Synonyms replace, supplant, take the place of, take over from, substitute for, displace, oust, overthrow, remove, unseat, override; succeed, come after, step into the shoes of informal crowd out, fill someone's boots UsageThe standard spelling is supersede rather than supercede. The word is derived from the Latin verb supersedere but has been influenced by the presence of other words in English spelled with a c, such as intercede and accede. The c spelling is recorded as early as the 16th century; although still generally regarded as incorrect, it is now entered without comment in some modern dictionaries. Derivativessupersession
