The part people get wrong

Watch for double e.

Not to be confused with: precede, a different word.

Same family: proceeding, procedure, process, precede, succeed. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.

Where it comes from: “Proceed” comes from Latin *procedere*, from *pro-* meaning “forward” and *cedere* meaning “to go,” so it literally means “to go forward.” It is part of the same Latin family as “precede,” “succeed,” and “process,” which all share the idea of moving or going in some way.
