: Based on its etymology, supersede is correct. As for the Investorwords, even glossaries can make mistakes. Supersede is a favorite of spelling bees because it is so often misspelled.

yes
however, superSede is more commonly used. The Webster lists supercede as another variant of supersede.

no doubt it is. but is the word supeCede also correct? The Merriam-Webster says it's the variant of the standard superSede.

: Yes, supersede is standard, but things may be changing, in teh US at least: this link only gives supercede! http://www.investorwords.com/cgi-bin/letter.cgi?S

supercede or supersede
apparently either or is correct. Here is an explanation from Kenneth G. Wilson (1923–). The Columbia Guide to Standard American English. 1993.
supersede, supercede,
We got the word supersede/supercede from the Latin supersedere, by way of the Old French superceder (later superseder), so etymology offers arguments in favor of each spelling. Supersede is the overwhelming preference of Edited English, although supercede does occur in print. If one regulation replaces another, the new one supersedes the old one
