precedent » president
Spotted in the wild:
- “The designs created by him and his colleagues set a president in Victorian style.” (Artist Biographies)
- “That case set a president in custody cases.” (link)
‘President’ is obviously seen as a word with connotations of importance… so ‘to set a precedent’, something would have to be important, or would at least be so after it was deemed a precedent, like a president. Also, perhaps, a reanalysis deriving from ‘presides.’
