Usage notes
* The form (term) is commonly considered a misspelling of supersede, since it results from confusion between Latin , but the ‘c’ spelling began to be used in Middle French, appeared in [[w:English language, English] as early as the 1400s, and is still sometimes found. The fact that supersede is the only English word ending in (term), while several end in (term), also encourages confusion. * Most dictionaries do not include this spelling; a few list it as a variant, sometimes identified as a misspelling.“supercede]” in the Merriam–Webster Online Dictionary .A search of general dictionaries at [http://www.onelook.com/ Onelook All Dictionaries finds 4 instances of "supercede" excluding this one (with one flagged as misspelling), and 24 of "supersede".
