Talk:supersedere

Supersedere is not a noun in Latin. The pages citation is a 19th century source written in English not Latin. In this case, the writer is awkwardly nouning a verb. Are there more examples of the nouning of supersedere? Whether there are or not, I am not going out on a limb when I say supersedere simply isn't a noun in Latin. Also are there any examples of it being used as a plural noun as the definition suggests?

- The noun is given as English, not Latin (obviously a Latin noun wouldn't pluralise in -s). If you dispute it please use our WT:RFV process. Before you do that, be aware that some major respectable dictionaries include the noun. Equinox ◑ 12:53, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
On further review I agree, my bias toward looking for the word as a noun in Latin, caused me to fail to find the obvious examples of it in standard dictionaries. I apologize for my mistake. 205.189.0.104 16:51, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
