Word: десить,
Near etymology: только русск.-цслав., ст.-слав. десити, дешѫ "находить, встречать", сербохорв. дѐсити -- то же, др.-чеш. podesiti, udesiti. Другая ступень вокализма: др.-русск. досити "находить", укр. судоси́тися "встретиться (с к.-л.)", блр. судоша́ць "встречать".
Further etymology: Обычно считается родственным греч. δέκομαι "принимаю", δοκέω "верю", лат. decet "подобает", др.-инд. dā́c̨ati, dāc̨nṓti "приносит жертву", авест. dāštа-"полученный" (Мейе, MSL 14, 338; Бернекер 1, 188; Траутман, BSW 54; Гофман, Gr. Wb. 54, 62; Вальде -- Гофм. 1, 330 и сл.). Разница в знач. затруднительна. Допустимо также родство слав. desiti с греч. δήω "найду", алб. ndieh "нахожусь" (из *des-skō), ndesh "встречаю"; см. Педерсен, IF 47; Иокль, Stud. 60 и сл.
