RE-SIDE, v.i. [s as z. Fr. resider; L. resideo, resido; re and sedeo, to sit, to settle.]

1. To dwell permanently or for a length of time; to have a settled abode for a time. The peculiar uses of this word are to be noticed. When the word is applied to the natives of a state or others who dwell in it as permanent citizens, we use it only with reference to the part of a city or country in which a man dwells. We do not say generally, that Englishmen reside in England, but a particular citizen resides in London or York, or at such a house in such a street, in the Strand, &c. When the word is applied to strangers or travelers, we do not say a man resides in an inn for a night, but he resided in London or Oxford a month or a year; or he may reside in a foreign country a great part of his life. A man lodges, stays, remains, abides, for a day or very short time, but reside implies a longer time, though not definite.
