ancestral

Par le pouvoir du crâne ancestral ! Je détiens la force toute-puissante !By the power of Grayskull! I have the power!

Inherited from Old French ancestrel, from ancestre (“ancestor”), from Late Latin antecessor, an agent noun from the past participle stem of Latin antecedere (“to proceed”), from the prefix ante- with the infinitive cedere (“to go”), the latter from Proto-Italic *kezdō (“to avoid or to go away”), from Proto-Indo-European *ked- (“to yield or to go”).
