Etymology
The term 'sue' comes from the Latin root 'sequi', which means 'to follow'. It traces its history back to the notion of seeking justice or following a legal path after being wronged. The use of the word in English has evolved over centuries, with its roots in the medieval legal systems where 'suit' also referred to a petition made to a court. The addition of '-ing' as a gerund creates the current form 'sueding', indicating the ongoing action of bringing a legal claim.
