Etymology: Probably a variant or alteration of sect n.¹ (compare sense 7 at that entry), perhaps after classical Latin sēptum septum n.However, compare also Middle French cepte , septe lineage (first half of the 15th cent.), tribe (end of the 15th cent.), of uncertain origin (perhaps ultimately < classical Latin scēptrum sceptre n., or perhaps a variant or alteration of sette , secte sect n.¹, perhaps by association with classical Latin sēptum), and also Italian setta lineage, descent (1522 in this sense). Compare also post-classical Latin septus clan (1566 in an Irish source).

1. With reference to Ireland and Scotland: a clan, a subgroup of a clan; (more generally) a division of a nation or tribe.Occasionally, as in quot. 1875, used spec. to denote a clan consisting of those who are believed to be descendants of a common ancestor.
