Etymology
1. 1382, from L.
ascendere "to climb up," from
ad- "to" +
scandere "to climb." An O.E. word for it was
stigan.
Ascent is 1607, on model of
descent. Ascension (c.1315) is the celebration of the ascent of Christ into heaven on the 40th day after the resurrection.
2. From Middle English ascenden, borrowed from Old French ascendre, from Latin ascendō (“to go up, climb up to”), from ad (“to”) + scandō (“to climb”); see scan. Unrelated to accede other than common ad prefix. See: Latin '
ascendō'.
