transient: [17] English adapted transient from trānsiēns, the present participle of Latin trānsīre ‘go over’. This was a compound verb formed from the prefix trāns- ‘across, over’ and īre ‘go’ (source also of English coitus, exit, obituary, etc). Also from trānsīre come English trance [14], transit [15], transition [16], transitive [16], and transitory [14].
