Usage notes
[edit]

Originally,set specifically served as the causative ofsit, and this relationship is still reflected in several of the above senses. However, as with many such pairs, the correspondence has mostly deteriorated, with new senses ofsit no longer being accompanied with a like sense ofset; notably, there are now transitive senses ofsit and intransitive senses ofset. Comparerise andraise, whose senses are almost all intransitive and transitive counterparts, respectively.
